Dostal allowed three goals on 21 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Dostal wasn't very sharp in this outing, but the Ducks nearly bailed him out in the end. They scored twice in the final 3:02 of the game, and the potential equalizer crossed the line just after time ran out in the third period. Dostal comes away with his fourth loss in six outings (2-3-1), and he's now 19-16-5 with a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 39 appearances. John Gibson (lower body) is considered day-to-day, and Dostal is likely to handle a starter's workload in his absence. The Ducks' next game is at home Sunday versus the Islanders.

Dostal is expected to defend the home crease versus St. Louis on Friday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dostal has won his last two starts, but he was saddled with the loss in Vancouver on Wednesday, stopping 14 of 15 shots after replacing the injured John Gibson (lower body). Dostal is 18-15-5 with a 2.87 GAA and a .911 save percentage. The Blues are generating 2.84 goals per game, 21st in the NHL.

Dostal allowed a goal on 15 shots in relief of John Gibson (lower body) in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Dostal was pressed into action after Gibson was hurt on a collision in the crease in the second period. While Dostal allowed just one goal, it was the decisive tally of the contest, scored by Carson Soucy. Dostal is now 4-2-1 with 15 goals allowed on 201 shots (.925 save percentage) over his last seven appearances. For the season, he's at an 18-14-5 record with a 2.87 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 38 games. If Gibson misses any length of time, Dostal is more than capable of filling in as the primary starter, while Ville Husso or Oscar Dansk are candidates to be called up from AHL San Diego to fill the backup role. The Ducks' next game is Friday at home versus the Blues.

Dostal allowed two goals on 34 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers' ever-dangerous power play cashed in twice, but the Ducks made plenty of noise at even strength to give Dostal the support to get the win. He's won four of his last six outings, allowing 14 goals in that span. The 24-year-old netminder is up to 18-14-5 with a 2.88 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. John Gibson should be penciled in to start Wednesday in Vancouver, though he remains in the rumor mill ahead of Friday's deadline, so plans could change rapidly if the Ducks make a move. In any case, Dostal has earned at least a 50-50 split of the starts down the stretch.

Dostal will protect the road goal versus the Oilers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dostal will draw a challenging matchup in the first half of a back-to-back, indicating John Gibson is likely to start Wednesday versus the Canucks. Dostal is 3-1-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .921 save percentage over his last five appearances. Even with reliable numbers like those, he will have his hands full with the Oilers' offense. He has gone 1-1-0 in two games against the Oilers this season, allowing three goals in each of those outings -- the loss came in a Jan. 3 game in Edmonton.

Dostal stopped 22 of 24 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Both of the Canucks' goals were scored in the first period, but the Ducks bounced back with five goals of their own over the final 40 minutes. Dostal had lost his previous two outings, allowing eight goals on 73 shots in those games, but he had a five-game winning streak prior to that and should have some confidence back after this comeback win. He's now 17-14-5 with a 2.90 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 36 appearances. The Ducks' next game is a favorable matchup against the Blackhawks on Saturday, and Dostal will likely get that start if John Gibson (upper body) remains out.

Dostal will start Thursday's home game against the Canucks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dostal will draw a third consecutive start since John Gibson continues to deal with an upper-body injury. However, Dostal hasn't been particularly effective recently, going 0-1-1 with a 4.04 GAA and .890 save percentage over his last two outings. It's not yet clear whether Gibson will be healthy enough to serve as the backup Thursday or whether he'll be able to return Saturday against Chicago.

Dostal made 32 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks took a 2-0 lead into the third period but proceeded to hang Dostal out to dry by getting out-shot 18-6 in the final frame, although the netminder might like another crack at Henri Jokiharju's game-winner from a sharp angle. Dostal has appeared in four straight games while John Gibson (upper body) has been back on the shelf, going 2-1-1 with a 2.89 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Dostal will defend the road net against Buffalo on Tuesday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Dostal has won five of his last six outings (5-0-1), stopping 163 of 177 shots. He has a 16-13-5 record with one shutout, a 2.92 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 34 appearances this season. Buffalo ranks 10th in the league with 3.22 goals per game in 2024-25.

Dostal made 31 saves on 36 attempts in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

After appearing in relief of John Gibson (upper-body) in Saturday's contest, Dostal drew the start on Sunday and allowed three goals in the first 5:06 of the game. While this inflated his stats on paper, two of Detroit's goals came just 30 seconds apart after the Ducks took two penalties at 4:21 of the first period. With the loss, Dostal's record dropped to 16-13-5 with a 2.92 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Sunday's contest was the 24-year-old's fifth occurrence of allowing five or more goals this season. As Gibson is considered day-to-day, Dostal could be called upon again to guard Anaheim's crease Tuesday against the Sabres.
