Dostal has lost two straight starts, during which he posted a 3.57 GAA and .877 save percentage. With the Ducks entering a back-to-back, Ville Husso will patrol the cage for Monday's road clash with the Rangers, giving Dostal an extra night off to regain his focus.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Handed loss Friday
Rotowire
Dostal surrendered four goals on 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
Dostal took his third loss of the year and his second in as many games. His performance has been all over the place so far, as evidenced by a 3.17 GAA and an .882 save percentage through six outings. He's not yet in danger of losing the No. 1 job for the Ducks, but he'll need to get himself on track on the road. The Ducks begin their road trip out east with a back-to-back, visiting the Rangers on Monday and the Islanders on Tuesday. Expect Dostal and Ville Husso to split those contests.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Wastes favorable matchup
Rotowire
Dostal allowed three goals on 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flames. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
The Flames had their best game of the year, and Dostal wasn't quite up to the challenge. The 35 shots against were the most he's seen in his five outings this season. Dostal is 3-2-0 with a 2.98 GAA and an .892 save percentage so far. He should continue to see a starter's workload for the Ducks. Their next game is Friday at home versus the Bruins before they set off on an eastern road trip.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Dostal will patrol the home paint in Tuesday's clash against the Flames, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

The 26-year-old netminder has a 3-1-0 record, a 2.96 GAA and an .883 save percentage across four outings to begin the new campaign. He'll be slated to face the Flames, who have yet to find the win column across five outings, making Dostal one of the top players to start in fantasy Tuesday.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Cruises to win over Jets
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 15 of 16 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
Dostal didn't face much traffic in this contest, earning his third win in four starts on the year. The lone blemish on his line was a Kyle Connor tally midway through the third period. Dostal has allowed 11 goals on 94 shots while going 3-1-0 so far. He'll likely get some rest Saturday against the Flames, which will probably be Ville Husso's first start of the campaign, but Dostal's starting role is not in doubt in the long run.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Between pipes against Oilers
Rotowire
Dostal will tend the twine at home versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Dostal is undefeated to start the year, going 2-0-0 with a 2.42 GAA and .918 save percentage. If the 26-year-old netminder continues to see a heavy workload moving forward, he could push for the 30-win threshold, setting a new personal best by surpassing it.

Rotowire
Dostal stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
Dostal has faced a couple of tough opponents to start the season and come away with two wins and five goals allowed on 61 shots.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine against Florida
Rotowire
Dostal will start at home against the Panthers on Sunday, according to Patrick Present of The Hockey News.
Dostal picked up a win in his first appearance of the season Friday in Vegas, stopping 27 of 30 shots en route to a 4-3 win. The 26-year-old will face another tough opponent Sunday, but the Panthers will be missing Aleksander Barkov (knee), who was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Holds off Golden Knights.
Rotowire
Dostal stopped 27 of 30 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Dostal kept Vegas off the board for two periods, but last year's runners-up didn't go down without a fight, scoring thrice in the third. That's likely a product of a very young blue line, and more generally an inexperienced roster. Dostal is capable of handling a starter's workload, and it'll be up to him to provide a calming presence in goal to build his defense's confidence. The Ducks' next game is Sunday at home versus the Panthers, which will provide another tough test early in the campaign.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Dostal turned aside 17 of 19 shots during Wednesday's 2-1 preseason loss to the Kings.
Dostal got his first taste of preseason action ahead of the 2026-27 campaign Wednesday, but he allowed a pair of goals late in the first frame and didn't get much offensive support. Dostal appears to be in line to serve as the Ducks' primary netminder once again this year after he went 30-20-4 with a 3.10 GAA and .888 save percentage across 56 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Dostal ends the playoffs with a 6-6 record, a 3.54 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 12 games. The 25-year-old will be the Ducks' top netminder in 2026-27, though he will need the team's defense to improve in front of him.
