Dostal will serve as the starting goaltender in Wednesday's home preseason game against Utah, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Dostal is expected to play the entire game in his third start of the preseason Wednesday. He last started against the Kings on Saturday and turned aside 30 of 33 shots. Dostal will likely serve as the No. 1 goaltender for the Ducks once the regular season gets underway, but he'll see increased competition for playing time once John Gibson (appendectomy) is cleared to return.
