Dostal stopped 37 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Dostal came within 22 seconds of playing a potential spoiler for the Wild, but he couldn't quite get this game to the finish line. He then ended up with the loss at 4:42 of overtime when Matt Boldy completed Minnesota's comeback. Dostal is 1-3-1 over his last five outings with 20 goals allowed in that span. He moved to 23-23-7 on the year while adding a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 54 appearances. This was likely Dostal's last start of 2024-25 -- Ville Husso will probably get the nod Wednesday in Winnipeg to close out the campaign.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Loses it late Sunday
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
The Avalanche deployed a preseason-esque lineup, and Dostal shut them out for 50 minutes. They went on to score three times in a span of 7:46 against Dostal before icing it with an empty-netter. There have been some setbacks for the Ducks this year, but that's a tough loss to swallow, given the circumstances. Dostal has lost three of his last four games while allowing 17 goals in that span. He's now at a 23-23-6 record with a 3.11 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 53 outings. The Ducks conclude their season with a road back-to-back against the Wild on Tuesday and the Jets on Wednesday. If John Gibson (lower body) doesn't travel, Dostal and Ville Husso will likely split those starts.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Takes blowout loss to rivals
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 23 of 29 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kings.
The final Freeway Face-Off of the season went heavily in favor of the Kings, while Dostal allowed six goals for the second time in three starts. It's possible a heavy workload down the stretch is catching up with him, but the Ducks have been missing John Gibson to various injuries, including his current lower-body issue, over the better part of the last two months. Dostal is now 23-22-6 with a 3.11 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 52 outings this season. The Ducks' next game is their home finale versus the Avalanche on Sunday.

Dostal has been inconsistent in recent outings, going 2-3-0 with a 3.90 GAA and .864 save percentage over his last six appearances. He's made two starts against the Oilers this year, both on the road, and he went 1-1-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .918 save percentage in those outings.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Ambushed in Vancouver
Rotowire
Dostal turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
After Troy Terry opened the scoring 81 seconds into the first period to give the Ducks a brief lead, Dostal found himself under siege and got beaten five times before the first intermission mercifully arrived. The 24-year-old netminder is having a rough finish to the season, giving up more than three goals six times in his last 10 outings while going 3-5-1 with a 4.08 GAA and .863 save percentage.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Starting in Vancouver
Rotowire
Dostal will guard the road goal against the Canucks on Saturday.
Dostal has stopped 68 of 76 shots en route to a 1-2-0 record versus the Canucks this season. He has gone 22-20-6 with one shutout, a 3.01 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 49 appearances in 2024-25. Vancouver is tied for 22nd in the league this campaign with 2.80 goals per game.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Plays third period Thursday
Rotowire
Dostal allowed a goal on eight shots in relief of John Gibson (lower body) in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.
Dostal wasn't stuck with the loss, as the Flames put up three goals prior to Gibson's exit. This was Gibson's third injury since the 4 Nations Face-Off -- if he gets shut down for the year, Dostal would likely see a heavy workload to close out 2024-25. This loss officially eliminated the Ducks from playoff contention, though Dostal could be an option for Czechia at the IIHF World Championship if he feels up to it. He's impressed with a 22-20-6 record, a 3.01 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 49 contests this season. The Ducks' next game is a matinee in Vancouver on Saturday.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Wins in shootout
Rotowire
Dostal allowed three goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Dostal allowed at least three goals for the sixth straight game, but he came away with the win for the second time in three outings. It wasn't without a little drama, as he blew a two-goal lead in the third period. Dostal was perfect in the shootout to get the victory, which improved his season record to 22-20-6 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 48 contests. Dostal is seeing a large share of playing time even with John Gibson healthy. The Ducks' next two games are on the road -- they visit the Flames on Thursday and the Canucks on Saturday, both of which are fairly good matchups should Dostal get the start in either game.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Dostal will protect the home goal versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal will get the nod for a third game in a row. This is even after he took a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in his last outing Sunday, making 20 of 23 saves. The 24-year-old has a much easier matchup on the schedule Tuesday, as the Sharks have just 13 goals in their last six games.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Yields three goals in loss
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
The Ducks were able to overcome a two-goal deficit, but they couldn't bounce back after Steven Lorentz's third-period tally put the Maple Leafs ahead for good. Dostal is 2-3-1 over his last six games, and he's allowed at three goals on five occasions in that span. For the season, the 24-year-old netminder is at a 21-20-6 record with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 47 appearances. He's started the last two games, so it might be John Gibson's turn between the pipes versus the Sharks on Tuesday.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine Sunday
Rotowire
Dostal will patrol the home blue paint Sunday versus Toronto, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Dostal snapped his three-game losing streak in a 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers on Friday. He's been subpar through 10 appearances in March, posting a 4-5-1 record, .891 save percentage and 3.42 GAA. The Maple Leafs are on the second half of a back-to-back -- they defeated the Kings 3-1 on Saturday.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Holds on for overtime win
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 26 of 30 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.
Dostal was able to keep things close enough for the Ducks to pull off a comeback win. This was his first win in four outings, but he allowed four goals or more for a fourth straight game. The 24-year-old is up to 21-19-6 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 46 appearances. He's been alternating starts with John Gibson recently, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Gibson face the Maple Leafs on Sunday before Dostal gets a start versus the Sharks on Tuesday.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Facing Rangers
Rotowire
Dostal will start in goal at home versus the Rangers on Friday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal has hit the skids lately, going 1-3-1 with 20 goals allowed over his last five contests. The 24-year-old will start for the third time in five games, suggesting the Ducks have opted to alternate between Dostal and John Gibson to close out the season. The Rangers have 15 goals over their last six games with a 2-4-0 record in that span.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Chased after two periods
Rotowire
Dostal stopped nine of 14 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.
Dostal lasted two periods before Ville Husso was brought in to do some mop-up duty against one of his former teams. The 24-year-old Dostal has seen a heavy workload in the absence of John Gibson (lower body), and it may be wearing on the Czech netminder. Dostal is 3-4-0 with 19 goals allowed on 188 shots (.899 save percentage) over seven games in March. For the season, he's at a 20-18-5 record with a 2.94 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 43 appearances. The Ducks' road trip continues Tuesday in Dallas, which is a matchup Dostal's fantasy managers may want to avoid, though he did win a 4-2 game with a 34-save effort in Dallas on Nov. 18.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Back in goal Sunday
Rotowire
Dostal will guard the road net Sunday versus St. Louis, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal will make his seventh start in Anaheim's last eight games as he continues to serve as the Ducks' top netminder due to John Gibson's (lower body) absence. The 24-year-old Dostal is 20-17-5 with a .911 save percentage and a 2.86 GAA this season.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Sharp in 20th win
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
Dostal has won four of his last seven outings after this strong performance, a bounce-back effort following his six-goal loss to the Capitals on Tuesday. The 24-year-old netminder is up to 20-17-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 42 outings this season. Dostal continues to handle a heavy workload due to John Gibson (lower body) being sidelined. The Ducks begin a three-game road trip with a stop in St. Louis on Sunday.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Slated to start Friday
Rotowire
Dostal is expected to defend the home crease versus St. Louis on Friday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal has won his last two starts, but he was saddled with the loss in Vancouver on Wednesday, stopping 14 of 15 shots after replacing the injured John Gibson (lower body). Dostal is 18-15-5 with a 2.87 GAA and a .911 save percentage. The Blues are generating 2.84 goals per game, 21st in the NHL.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Loses in relief appearance
Rotowire
Dostal allowed a goal on 15 shots in relief of John Gibson (lower body) in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Dostal was pressed into action after Gibson was hurt on a collision in the crease in the second period. While Dostal allowed just one goal, it was the decisive tally of the contest, scored by Carson Soucy. Dostal is now 4-2-1 with 15 goals allowed on 201 shots (.925 save percentage) over his last seven appearances. For the season, he's at an 18-14-5 record with a 2.87 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 38 games. If Gibson misses any length of time, Dostal is more than capable of filling in as the primary starter, while Ville Husso or Oscar Dansk are candidates to be called up from AHL San Diego to fill the backup role. The Ducks' next game is Friday at home versus the Blues.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Strong showing in win
Rotowire
Dostal allowed two goals on 34 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.
The Oilers' ever-dangerous power play cashed in twice, but the Ducks made plenty of noise at even strength to give Dostal the support to get the win. He's won four of his last six outings, allowing 14 goals in that span. The 24-year-old netminder is up to 18-14-5 with a 2.88 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. John Gibson should be penciled in to start Wednesday in Vancouver, though he remains in the rumor mill ahead of Friday's deadline, so plans could change rapidly if the Ducks make a move. In any case, Dostal has earned at least a 50-50 split of the starts down the stretch.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Overcomes shaky start
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 22 of 24 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Both of the Canucks' goals were scored in the first period, but the Ducks bounced back with five goals of their own over the final 40 minutes. Dostal had lost his previous two outings, allowing eight goals on 73 shots in those games, but he had a five-game winning streak prior to that and should have some confidence back after this comeback win. He's now 17-14-5 with a 2.90 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 36 appearances. The Ducks' next game is a favorable matchup against the Blackhawks on Saturday, and Dostal will likely get that start if John Gibson (upper body) remains out.
