Oilers Claw Back, Ducks Goalie Struggles

0:00It's April 29th, NHL News, today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Edmonton Oilers clawed back from the brink last night in Game 5 of their first round series against the Anaheim Ducks. Down three games to one and facing elimination, they got Captain Conor McDavid on the ice despite him skipping practice. The Oilers kept it simple, forechecked hard, and fired pucks at Ducks' goalie Lucas Dostell, lighting the lamp three times with snipes from Bacilli. Pockles in, a tip by Zach Hyman, and Leon Drizidal off a point shot to cut the series to three two. Unlike the first four games where Anaheim always rallied, the Ducks couldn't mount a comeback this time, especially after Dostell's rough start with. Shakey Puck handling that led directly to that dagger goal by Drizidal. Fans and analysts are buzzing about Dostell's playoff struggles so far, sitting at an 864 save percentage and giving up 18 goals in. Five games.

Now heading to game six at the Honda Center, Ducks coach Joel Quinnavill has a huge call, stick with Dostell, or switch to back up Villasso, who went. Seven games with the Blues back in 2022 for an 890 save clip, but nothing elite. History says, ride your starter through the storm, build his confidence and keep the locker room locked in, expect Quinnavill to roll with Dostell and see if the Ducks can slam the door on Edmonton's comeback run.
