Lukas Dostal

Anaheim turns to Lukas Dostal in the net tonight against Montreal, a move that signals confidence in the young goalie amid a tough stretch for the Ducks. Coaches have been eyeing his recent practices, where he's shown the kind of poise that separates backups from everyday starters. With the Habs always dangerous at home, this start carries real weight for Anaheim's goaltending pecking order moving forward.

William Nylander lights the lamp on the power play against Anaheim's Lukas Dostal, with Matthews and Maccelli piling on goals in the fray. Toronto's top guns exploit every advantage in this Pacific-Atlantic showdown. Dostal battles hard, but the Leafs' firepower tests his rookie nerves.

Gabriel Vilardi wastes no time lighting the lamp with a power-play beauty right in Lukas Dostal's grill during Winnipeg's visit to Anaheim. You know the Jets have been leaning on that top unit lately, and Vilardi's seeing more ice with Hellebuyck preaching patience from the bench. Dostal's been solid in net for the Ducks, but this one tests his five-hole early - front offices are watching how these Pacific matchups shake out with the standings tightening.

Anaheim's backup netminder Petr Mrazek undergoes hip surgery and shuts down for the rest of the season, leaving the Ducks scrambling post-Olympic break. The 34-year-old veteran, acquired in that wild Gibson-to-Detroit swap last summer, posted ugly numbers in his 10 starts before landing on IR in January. With Lukas Dostal carrying the load and Ville Husso as the shaky option, GM Pat Verbeek faces real pressure to upgrade before the deadline if Anaheim wants to hold that second wild-card spot.

Lukas Dostal returns to Anaheim on a scorching hot streak, having won eight of his last nine before the Olympic pause, and now faces a soft homestand against Western Canadian teams that his Ducks can exploit. Alex Laferriere slides into prime real estate on the Kings' top line alongside Adrian Kempe and a debuting Artemi Panarin after Kevin Fiala's season-ending Olympic injury opened the door.

Jordan Binnington channels his inner gamer to stonewall Martin Necas on a breakaway and deliver massive stops that keep Canada's gold dreams breathing in a heart-stopping overtime win over Czechia. While his St. Louis Blues struggle near the bottom of the West with his save percentage dipping below .900 this season, Binner elevates his game under the Olympic spotlight, outdueling Czech netminder Lukas Dostal just like he did at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
