LUKAS DOSTAL NEWS

Gives up four in loss Dostal made 29 saves in a 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact Dostal is 2-3-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .899 save percentage in six starts this season. He became one of the NHL's top young twinetenders after two seasons in a platoon with John Gibson. Last year, Dostal delivered a 23-23-7 record, a .902 SV% (.002 above league average), and 14.3 GSAx, which was 16th in the NHL among goalies with >25 games played. But this year has been tough him in an undisputed role of top dog. Dostal is a buy-low opportunity, though, as the team has so far struggled to adjust to a new coaching staff and zone defensive system, and that system favors the netminders. He'll be fine. He'll be even better on your team.

Expected to start Saturday Dostal is set to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Dostal has a 2-2-1 record, 2.82 GAA and .904 save percentage in five appearances this season. He's allowed just two goals in each of his past two outings, posting a .931 save percentage over that span. Tampa Bay has a 1-4-2 record and ranks 27th in goals per game with 2.57.

Wins in Nashville Dostal stopped 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Dostal has sharpened up in his last two games, and he was rewarded for the effort this time. The Ducks' three-goal second period was enough for him to ride to the win, giving him a 2-2-1 record with a 2.82 GAA and a .904 save percentage over five starts this season. Dostal's got the talent to be a No. 1 goalie for Anaheim, but how many wins he racks up will depend on the team in front of him taking a step forward on offense. The Ducks have four or more goals in three games this year, but they've scored just one goal in their other three contests. Their road trip reaches its midpoint in Boston on Thursday.

Set to start Tuesday Dostal will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Dostal has started the season 1-2-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .898 save percentage. He'll be making his fourth straight start, so he'll likely be due for a rest soon. The Predators have started to slump, going 0-2-1 with seven goals scored during their three-game losing streak.

Gives up two goals in OT loss Dostal allowed two goals on 30 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Dostal posted his best performance of the season from a save-percentage perspective, as this was the first time he surpassed the .910 mark in a single game in four outings in 2025-26. That hasn't translated into much success for the Ducks, though. In four starts, Dostal has gone 1-2-1 with a 3.02 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Dostal's next chance to get back to winning ways could come as soon as Tuesday in a road matchup against the Predators.

Tending twine against Chicago Dostal is starting Sunday's road game against Chicago, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Swept up by Hurricanes Dostal allowed four goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Dostal gave up two goals to Seth Jarvis, and two more from Alexander Nikishin and Sebastian Aho got by the Ducks' goalie in the third period. The 25-year-old Dostal has allowed 10 goals over three games en route to a 1-2-0 record to begin the season. His playing time will be significant, but his performance so far leaves something to be desired. The Ducks begin a road trip in Chicago on Sunday, and the team hasn't named a starter yet, though Petr Mrazek is a former Blackhawk and may want a chance against his old teammates.

Starting Thursday Dostal will guard the home goal versus Carolina on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dostal is 1-1-0 in the early going, allowing six goals on 56 shots. He established himself over the last two seasons and is currently Anaheim's No. 1 netminder. Dostal will face the Hurricanes, who have tallied 15 goals in three games this season.

Prevails over Penguins Dostal stopped 22 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact All three of the Penguins' goals featured some sort of redirection, so it's tough to pin any of them on Dostal. The 25-year-old evened his record at 1-1-0 with six goals allowed on 56 shots over his first two starts of the season. Given Petr Mrazek's lackluster performance in a 7-6 overtime win over the Sharks on Saturday, it shouldn't take much for Dostal to claim a majority of the starts. The Ducks are back in action in a tough matchup against the Hurricanes on Thursday before embarking on a road trip.

Starting in home opener Dostal will defend the home crease in the team's home opener against the Penguins on Tuesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Dostal surrendered three goals on 31 shots in the 3-1 season-opening loss to Seattle on Thursday. Pittsburgh has netted eight goals over its first three games of the season, going 2-1-0. Dostal is 1-0-1 with a 2.34 GAA and a stellar .950 save percentage over two career appearances against the Penguins.

Gives up three goals in loss Dostal allowed three goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Dostal gave up a tally in each period and didn't get enough help from his teammates to keep the game competitive. While it's a discouraging start to the year, Dostal is poised to take a step up in his second campaign as a full-time starter. The 25-year-old should continue to provide reliable goaltending, and if the Ducks improve as a team throughout the year, he'll collect more wins than the 23 he had over 54 outings in 2024-25. Dostal is a low-end No. 2 with potential in fantasy this season. The Ducks' play in San Jose on Saturday for the second game of the campaign.

Set to face Seattle Dostal (lower body) will defend the road net in Anaheim's season opener against Seattle on Thursday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Dostal had a 23-23-7 record, 3.10 GAA and .903 save percentage in 54 appearances in 2024-25. He should get the bulk of the starts this year, especially after the Ducks dealt John Gibson over the summer. However, Anaheim isn't entering the campaign as a favorite to earn a playoff berth, and the quality of the team in front of him might limit Dostal's fantasy value this campaign.

Starting preseason finale Dostal (lower body) will guard the road crease during Saturday's preseason finale against the Kings, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Dostal was considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury since Monday, and he was unavailable for Wednesday's preseason tilt against the Sharks. However, head coach Joel Quenneville described the injury as "definitely short, short term," and Dostal will ultimately return to action to close out the preseason. The 25-year-old will likely be available for Thursday's Opening Night matchup in Seattle.

Won't play Wednesday Dostal (lower body) isn't expected to play on the road in Wednesday's preseason game against San Jose, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact Dostal had a 23-23-7 record, 3.10 GAA and .903 save percentage in 54 outings with the Ducks in 2024-25. He's expected to start the season as Anaheim's No. 1 netminder, but if Dostal isn't healthy enough to do so, then Petr Mrazek and Ville Husso might split the workload until Dostal is ready to return.
