Rookie Dostal Leads Ducks to a 4-0 Victory Over Blackhawks with Impressive First Shutout

Thursday, March 21st, 2024

In a stellar performance, newcomer goalie Lukas Dostal achieved his initial NHL shutout by making 29 saves, propelling the Anaheim Ducks to a decisive 4-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. This victory put an end to the Ducks' seven-game losing skid.

For the Ducks, Alex Killorn found the back of the net twice, and Frank Vatrano scored his 30th goal of the season during a power-play opportunity, marking a significant achievement as the team's second undrafted player to hit this mark.

Brett Leason played a key role in the win by scoring a goal and providing an assist, a notable contribution given the Ducks' recent struggles where they were outscored 35-7 in their preceding matchups.

The game saw an unfortunate incident as Ducks' rookie Leo Carlsson exited the game early due to a knee-on-knee collision with Blackhawks' defenseman Alex Vlasic.

On the opposing side, Arvid Soderblom guarded the net for the Blackhawks, making 21 saves. However, his efforts couldn't prevent the Blackhawks from losing three of their last four games.

**Looking Ahead:**

The Blackhawks are set to face off against San Jose on Saturday, while the Ducks will welcome Tampa Bay on Sunday.
