Gets starting nod in finale Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Dostal will end up having played in seven of the Ducks' final eight games. He's gone 2-3-1 with 18 goals allowed over his last six outings. The Golden Knights still have playoff positioning to play for, so this is likely to be a challenging season finale for Dostal in his 44th outing of the campaign.

Surrenders three goals in loss Dostal allowed three goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Dostal took his sixth loss in his last eight games, though the Ducks' lack of offense was once again a factor. The 23-year-old dropped to 13-23-3 with a 3.39 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 43 appearances this season. The Ducks' season ends Thursday versus the Golden Knights, but it's unclear which one of Dostal or John Gibson will start that game.

Starting versus Kings Dostal will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Kings, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Dostal went 2-2-1 with 15 goals allowed over his previous five outings before getting a breather Friday versus the Flames. Dostal got extra reps while John Gibson was sidelined with an upper-body injury. It's not a fantasy-friendly matchup for Dostal in Saturday's contest, especially in the second half of a back-to-back.

Stands tall in win Dostal allowed a goal on 37 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Dostal made his fifth straight start, and this was his best performance in that span. He limited the Kings to an Akil Thomas goal on a broken play in the first period. Dostal improved to 13-22-3 with a 3.40 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 42 appearances. John Gibson is getting closer to a return from an upper-body injury, but it's possible Dostal could start two of the Ducks' last three games to get more experience.

Starting against LA Dostal will protect the home net Tuesday against the Kings, according to Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West.

Impact Dostal has picked up one victory over his last six outings, allowing 21 goals on 167 shots during that stretch. He has a 12-22-3 record this season with a 3.47 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 41 games played. The Kings rank 16th in the league this campaign with 3.12 goals per contest.

Loses in shootout Dostal allowed five goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues.

Impact Dostal took his fifth loss in the last six outings, and he's given up a total of 21 goals in that span. This was his fourth straight game, as John Gibson (undisclosed) was out again. Dostal is at 12-22-3 with a 3.47 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 41 outings this season. The Ducks are facing likely playoff teams in three of their last four games, so Dostal will remain a weak fantasy play down the stretch.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Tending twine Sunday Dostal will get the starting nod at home against the Blues on Sunday.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Yields three goals in win Dostal allowed three goals on 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Dostal gave up a couple of tallies in the second period, but the Ducks bounced back from that and led from early in the third to the finish. This was just his second win in his last nine appearances, and he's given up at least three goals in six of those games. Dostal is at 12-21-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 39 appearances this season. He's had a slight edge over John Gibson for playing time lately, but Dostal's results make him a fringe option for most fantasy formats.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Calgary Dostal will defend the road net Tuesday against Calgary, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Dostal has surrendered 10 goals on 85 shots during his three-game winless skid. Over 38 contests this campaign, he holds a record of 11-21-2 with a 3.46 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Flames sit 16th in the league this season with 3.07 goals per game.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Canucks Dostal allowed three goals on 30 shots in a 3-2 loss to Vancouver on Sunday.

Impact Dostal was decent Sunday, holding the Canucks to a pair of power-play goals through the first two periods before eventually surrendering the game-winner to Dakota Joshua late in the final frame. The 23-year-old Dostal has just one win in his last eight appearances, going 1-5-1 with an .883 save percentage in that span while splitting work with John Gibson. Overall, Dostal is 11-21-2 with a .900 save percentage and 3.46 GAA on the campaign.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Vancouver Dostal will guard the road net Sunday against the Canucks, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Dostal is coming off a 24-save effort in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Seattle. In 37 appearances this season, he has posted a record of 11-20-2 with a 3.47 GAA and a .900 save percentage. Vancouver sits sixth in the league this campaign with 3.45 goals per contest.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up four goals in loss Dostal stopped 24 of 28 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Dostal has allowed 10 goals over his last four outings, going 1-2-1 in that span. The 23-year-old at least got some goal support Thursday, but he was unable to protect the 2-1 lead the Ducks established early in the third period. He's now at 11-20-2 with a 3.47 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 37 appearances on the year. The Ducks have a back-to-back with games in Edmonton on Saturday and Vancouver on Sunday, so both Dostal and John Gibson are goalies to avoid this weekend.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Seattle Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Kraken on Thursday, Allyson Ballard of Davy Jones' Locker Room reports.

Impact Dostal will get the second game of the Ducks' two-game set in Seattle. John Gibson was on the receiving end of a 4-0 shutout loss on Tuesday. Dostal is just 1-3-1 over his last six appearances with 16 goals allowed on 138 shots in that span, though the Kraken's offense is hardly a threatening one.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Falls in overtime Dostal kicked out 24 of 27 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning on Sunday.

Impact Dostal faced a light workload to start the game and he turned away all five shots sent his way. It was only the middle frame and the extra period that he allowed any goals to finish with an .889 save percentage. The 23-year old netminder only has three wins in the month of March, much of it a result of the poor play in front of him as he's been solid with a .916 save percentage over that span. The Ducks are on the road against the Kraken on Tuesday.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Sunday Dostal is the expected starter for Sunday's home matchup against the Lightning, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact John Gibson will be unavailable due to an illness, paving the way for Dostal to draw the start. Dostal dominated Chicago on Thursday, stopping all 29 shots he faced in the shutout win. However, since the start of February, the 23-year-old has gone 3-8-0 with a 3.40 GAA. On the year, he's 11-19-1 with a 3.46 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 35 appearances.

Blanks Chicago Dostal stopped 29 shots in a 4-0 shutout victory over the Blackhawks.

Impact Dostal was excellent Thursday, stopping 29 shots en route to the first shutout of his NHL career. The 23-year-old netminder had been 0-3-0 with an ugly .841 save percentage over his last four outings, though he continues to split netminding duties with John Gibson. Overall, Dostal is 11-19-1 with a .900 save percentage and 3.46 GAA this season. The Ducks are back in action Sunday at home versus Tampa Bay.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Dostal is winless in four straight, registering a 0-3-0 record to go with a 4.21 GAA and .841 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder continues to see the majority of the workload as the team tries to figure out what it has in Dostal. Having said that, veteran John Gibson won't just give the crease up without a fight.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Allows 4 in loss Dostal stopped 23 of 27 St. Louis shots during Sunday's 4-2 loss.

Impact Anaheim's struggles extend to Dostal, even if he's had the occasional strong start here and there. He hasn't had a win in the last four games, allowing 13 goals in that span for an .841 save percentage. It's going to be hard to guess when he'll have a strong start given the state of the Ducks in general.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

In net vs. St. Louis Dostal will guard the road crease Sunday against the Blues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact It'll be Dostal's third start in Anaheim's last five games. He was sharp in his last outing, stopping 29 of 31 shots in a shutout loss to the Wild. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder is 10-18-1 with a .900 save percentage and 3.57 GAA this year. He'll face a hot Blues team that's won their last three contests.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

No help in loss Dostal allowed two goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Wild.

Impact Dostal didn't get any help Thursday, as the Ducks' offense was held to two or fewer goals for the sixth game in a row. He's appeared in five of those contests, going 1-3-0 with 12 goals allowed. The 23-year-old is down to 10-18-1 with a 3.56 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 33 outings. Dostal has started to alternate starts with John Gibson, who will likely be between the pipes Friday in Winnipeg.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Thursday Dostal was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports, and is expected to get the road start in Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact The Ducks also play Friday in Winnipeg, so Dostal and John Gibson will likely share the pair of starts. Dostal is 10-17-1 with a 3.62 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 2023-24. He will face the Wild, who are averaging 30.1 shots, 17th in the NHL.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Called in for mop-up duty Dostal allowed a goal on five shots in relief of John Gibson in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Gibson was ejected after crossing the red line to engage in a line brawl midway through the third period. Dostal came in and played 10:42 at the end of the game, allowing a goal to Tyler Johnson on the Chicago power play that resulted from the scrum. Dostal won't end up with the loss -- he remains at 10-17-1 with a 3.62 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 32 appearances this season. It's unclear if Gibson will receive additional discipline for his actions, but if he does, Dostal would likely take over the No. 1 job in goal on a temporary basis.
