Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Just second loss in last seven
Rotowire
Dostal made 22 saves in a 6-4 loss to Toronto on Thursday. He allowed five goals.
Dostal is 5-2-0 in seven games since the Olympic break. But he's allowed five goals four times in that span, and four or more in five. That's a concerning stat as the Ducks try to hold onto stop spot in the Pacific. Dostal will play a critical role in trying to stave off Vegas, which is one point back.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Torched for five goals
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 21 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Even on the second half of their back-to-back, the Avalanche posed a threat, and Dostal didn't rise to the challenge.

The 25-year-old is at a 24-14-2 record with a 3.02 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 42 outings this season.

Rotowire
Dostal will guard the home goal versus the Jets on Friday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Heartbreaking loss to Canada
Rotowire
Dostal turned aside 37 shots in Czechia's 4-3 overtime loss to Canada in the Olympic men's hockey quarterfinals Wednesday.
The Czechs held a 2-1 lead at the end of the first period and a 3-2 lead midway through the third as they attempted to pull off a seismic upset. However, Dostal could only watch helplessly as Nick Suzuki tipped home a goal with less than four minutes remaining in regulation before Mitch Marner skated through three Czech defenders in OT and beat the netminder with a backhand. Dostal will head back to the Ducks having gone 1-3 in the tournament with an .886 save percentage, but two of the losses came in overtime.

Rotowire
Dostal turned aside 22 of 24 shots on net in Czechia's 3-2 win over Denmark in Olympic qualification round play Tuesday.

Czechia has favored the young netminder over Dan Vladar and Karel Vejmelka for the majority of the tournament, giving Dostal a solid chance to grab the start in the team's quarterfinals matchup against Canada on Wednesday.
