Rotowire
Dostal stopped 20 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Predators.

Dostal didn't get any more help while allowing three goals over the final 40 minutes. The 25-year-old's heavy workload is catching up to him, but the Ducks also need to play a bit better in front of him. Dostal is 29-18-3 with a 3.09 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 52 appearances. Ville Husso seems likely to get the nod Saturday versus the Flames.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Set to start Friday
Rotowire
Dostal is expected to start at home against St. Louis on Friday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Dostal has lost his past two starts, keeping him one shy of reaching 30 victories in a regular season for the first time in his career. He's at 29-17-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 51 appearances in 2025-26. St. Louis ranks 28th in goals per game with 2.64, and the Blues have dropped their past two games (0-1-1) to fall to 31-31-12 on the season, so this looks like a favorable matchup for the netminder.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Win slips away late
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 17 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Sharks.
Dostal had a 3-2 lead to protect for much of the third period, but he didn't get the effort across the finish line. Macklin Celebrini tied the game at 3-3 with 1:39 left in the frame, and Alexander Wennberg netted the winning goal for the Sharks just over a minute later. The 25-year-old Dostal has allowed at least three goals in six of his last seven outings, which makes it tough to trust him in fantasy even though he's still getting good scoring support from his team. On the year, he's at a 29-17-3 record with a 3.03 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 51 appearances. The Ducks have a back-to-back coming up -- they host the Blues on Friday and the Flames on Saturday. They've alternated goalies lately, but it's unclear if that pattern will hold, as it may be better to play Dostal in the tougher matchup Friday since the Ducks haven't secured their playoff spot yet.

The Canucks got a goal in each period, including two on the power play, but the Ducks were just a little better. Dostal improved to 6-2-1 with 28 goals allowed over nine outings in March, which has been a bit of a shaky month for him despite the wins.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Guarding cage versus Mammoth
Rotowire
Dostal will patrol the blue paint on the road against Utah on Friday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Dostal has struggled a little of late, giving up three or more goals in four of his last five outings, though he still managed to walk away with a 3-1-1 record. As long as the wins keep piling up, the young netminder should continue to see the bulk of the workload in the stretch run.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Heartbreaking loss to Canada
Rotowire
Dostal turned aside 37 shots in Czechia's 4-3 overtime loss to Canada in the Olympic men's hockey quarterfinals Wednesday.
The Czechs held a 2-1 lead at the end of the first period and a 3-2 lead midway through the third as they attempted to pull off a seismic upset. However, Dostal could only watch helplessly as Nick Suzuki tipped home a goal with less than four minutes remaining in regulation before Mitch Marner skated through three Czech defenders in OT and beat the netminder with a backhand. Dostal will head back to the Ducks having gone 1-3 in the tournament with an .886 save percentage, but two of the losses came in overtime.
