Takes overtime loss Dostal stopped 37 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Impact Dostal came within 22 seconds of playing a potential spoiler for the Wild, but he couldn't quite get this game to the finish line. He then ended up with the loss at 4:42 of overtime when Matt Boldy completed Minnesota's comeback. Dostal is 1-3-1 over his last five outings with 20 goals allowed in that span. He moved to 23-23-7 on the year while adding a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 54 appearances. This was likely Dostal's last start of 2024-25 -- Ville Husso will probably get the nod Wednesday in Winnipeg to close out the campaign.

Exits ice first Dostal was the first netminder off at the morning skate, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com, which indicates he'll tend the road the twine Tuesday in Minnesota.
Impact Dostal has struggled in back-to-back losses to the Kings and Avalanche, allowing a total of nine goals on 53 shots (.830 save percentage). The 24-year-old owns a 23-23-6 record, 3.11 GAA and .902 save percentage over 53 appearances in 2024-25. The Wild have netted 17 goals over their last five games, a span in which they are 3-2-0.

Loses it late Sunday Dostal stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact The Avalanche deployed a preseason-esque lineup, and Dostal shut them out for 50 minutes. They went on to score three times in a span of 7:46 against Dostal before icing it with an empty-netter. There have been some setbacks for the Ducks this year, but that's a tough loss to swallow, given the circumstances. Dostal has lost three of his last four games while allowing 17 goals in that span. He's now at a 23-23-6 record with a 3.11 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 53 outings. The Ducks conclude their season with a road back-to-back, with visits to the Wild on Tuesday and the Jets on Wednesday. If John Gibson (lower body) doesn't travel, Dostal and Ville Husso will likely split those starts.

Colorado sits sixth in the league with 3.32 goals per game in 2024-25, but the team is resting several regulars down the stretch, including Nathan MacKinnon (undisclosed) and Cale Makar (rest).

Takes blowout loss to rivals Dostal stopped 23 of 29 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kings.
Impact The final Freeway Face-Off of the season went heavily in favor of the Kings, while Dostal allowed six goals for the second time in three starts. It's possible a heavy workload down the stretch is catching up with him, but the Ducks have been missing John Gibson to various injuries, including his current lower-body issue, over the better part of the last two months. Dostal is now 23-22-6 with a 3.11 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 52 outings this season. The Ducks' next game is their home finale versus the Avalanche on Sunday.

Earns win vs. Oilers Dostal stopped 45 of 47 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Impact Dostal was impressive between the pipes for the Ducks and tied his season-high mark in saves in a single game, and he was beaten just twice by an Edmonton lineup that didn't have two of the most prolific forwards in the league in Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Connor McDavid (lower body). Dostal has secured the win in three of his previous six appearances, going 3-2-0 with a 3.52 GAA and an .885 save percentage in that span.

Ambushed in Vancouver Dostal turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact After Troy Terry opened the scoring 81 seconds into the first period to give the Ducks a brief lead, Dostal found himself under siege and got beaten five times before the first intermission mercifully arrived. The 24-year-old netminder is having a rough finish to the season, giving up more than three goals six times in his last 10 outings while going 3-5-1 with a 4.08 GAA and .863 save percentage.

Starting in Vancouver Dostal will guard the road goal against the Canucks on Saturday.
Impact Dostal has stopped 68 of 76 shots en route to a 1-2-0 record versus the Canucks this season. He has gone 22-20-6 with one shutout, a 3.01 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 49 appearances in 2024-25. Vancouver is tied for 22nd in the league this campaign with 2.80 goals per game.

Plays third period Thursday Dostal allowed a goal on eight shots in relief of John Gibson (lower body) in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.
Impact Dostal wasn't stuck with the loss, as the Flames put up three goals prior to Gibson's exit. This was Gibson's third injury since the 4 Nations Face-Off -- if he gets shut down for the year, Dostal would likely see a heavy workload to close out 2024-25. This loss officially eliminated the Ducks from playoff contention, though Dostal could be an option for Czechia at the IIHF World Championship if he feels up to it. He's impressed with a 22-20-6 record, a 3.01 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 49 contests this season. The Ducks' next game is a matinee in Vancouver on Saturday.

Wins in shootout Dostal allowed three goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Impact Dostal allowed at least three goals for the sixth straight game, but he came away with the win for the second time in three outings. It wasn't without a little drama, as he blew a two-goal lead in the third period. Dostal was perfect in the shootout to get the victory, which improved his season record to 22-20-6 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 48 contests. Dostal is seeing a large share of playing time even with John Gibson healthy. The Ducks' next two games are on the road -- they visit the Flames on Thursday and the Canucks on Saturday, both of which are fairly good matchups should Dostal get the start in either game.
