Dostal will get the rare back-to-back start Friday after allowing three goals on 41 shots (.927 SV%) in a loss to Minnesota Thursday. The 22-year-old has been relied upon heavily lately due to injuries, which has led to his 2-3-0 record, 3.66 GAA and .904 SV%.

Dostal stopped 46 of 49 shots (.939 SV%) in the best start of his young career his last time out as he beat the Edmonton Oilers for his second straight win. The 22-year-old has been mediocre while filling in for the Ducks' injured goaltenders, with his 2-1-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .898 SV%.
