Lukas Dostal - NHL News & Rumors

Bounces back for win Thursday Dostal allowed one goal on 19 shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Ducks held their ground in the race for the top spot in the Pacific Division while making their in-state rivals' path to the playoffs a lot harder. This performance ended Dostal's four-game losing streak, a span in which he surrendered 18 goals on 108 shots. Through 54 appearances this season, Dostal is up to 30-19-3 with a 3.09 GAA and an .890 save percentage. This is the first time he's reached the 30-win mark, though he has the worst ratios of his career as his quality of play has faded for a couple of extended stretches. The Ducks have a favorable matchup ahead when they host the Canucks on Sunday for the last home game in Anaheim in the regular season.

Tending twine against Sharks Dostal will guard the home goal versus the Sharks on Thursday, Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett reports.

Impact Dostal will be looking to end his personal four-game losing streak as well as the Ducks' six-game slide. He's allowed 18 goals during his skid. The Sharks are on the second half of a back-to-back after Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

Gets no help in loss Dostal stopped 20 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Predators.

Impact The Ducks went unconventional with 10 forwards and eight defensemen in the lineup Tuesday. While they generated 43 shots, none of them got by Justus Annunen, leaving Dostal on the wrong side of a lopsided shutout loss as his individual struggles persist. He's given up 18 goals during a four-game losing streak that has dropped him to 29-19-3 with a 3.13 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 53 appearances this season. Those struggles have the Ducks limping to the finish line in the regular season. Their next game is Thursday versus the Sharks.

Drawing start against Nashville Dostal will patrol the home blue paint versus the Predators on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact It's been a tough stretch for Dostal lately, as he's been blitzed for 13 goals on 83 shots (.843 save percentage) over his last three appearances, all of which were regulation losses. The 25-year-old goaltender hasn't played since Friday, and the Ducks have been off since Saturday. Meanwhile, the Predators are on the second half of a back-to-back after falling to the Kings on Monday in a shootout.

Yields six goals in loss Dostal allowed six goals on 29 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact Dostal has lost three games in a row, giving up 13 goals on 83 shots in that span. The Blues outpaced the Ducks in the first period, taking a 3-2 lead on a Jonatan Berggren tally late in the frame. Dostal didn't get anymore 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.

Set to start Friday Dostal is expected to start at home against St. Louis on Friday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact 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.

Win slips away late Dostal stopped 17 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Sharks.

Impact 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.

Tending twine Wednesday Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Dostal went 6-3-1 with a 3.07 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 10 outings in March. The Ducks have alternated him with Ville Husso over the last six games and will continue that trend Wednesday, which may be a method to give Dostal rest before the Ducks' likely playoff run. The Sharks have scored 12 goals over their last four contests.

First regulation loss in five games Dostal made 30 saves in a 4-2 loss to Edmonton on Saturday. He allowed three goals.

Impact It was Dostal's first regulation loss in five games (3-1-1). The young netminder is 29-16-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .894 save percentage in 49 starts this season. Dostal's save percentage is a shade off the NHL average (.897) this season. Sure, we'd love to see that number be higher, but it's really strong considering the youth playing in front of him. Those 29 wins put him in a tie with Jeremy Swayman for fifth in the NHL, behind Andrei Vasilevskiy (35), Karel Vejmelka (32) and Jake Oettinger (30).

Starting in Edmonton Dostal will defend the road net against the Oilers on Saturday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Dostal has won his last two outings while making 56 saves on 60 shots. He has a 29-15-3 record this campaign with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 49 appearances. Edmonton is tied for fourth in the league with 3.48 goals per game this season.

Holds off Canucks Dostal stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact 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. For the season, he's up to 29-15-3 with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 49 appearances. The Ducks' road trip continues with another favorable matchup Thursday in Calgary.

Tending twine Tuesday Dostal will guard the road crease in Tuesday's game against the Canucks, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Following a game of rest on Sunday, Dostal will return to action and look to continue his recent success, where he posted a 2-0-1 record, a 2.31 GAA and a .920 save percentage across three consecutive starts. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder has a 28-15-3 record, a 3.01 GAA and a .893 save percentage across 48 appearances this season. He'll draw a favorable matchup Tuesday against the Canucks, who rank 31st in the NHL with 2.52 goals per game.

Gets back in win column Dostal allowed one goal on 30 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Dostal has won three of his last five outings, and this was one of his best effort in that span. The 25-year-old has faltered a bit late in the season, but the Ducks' strong offense gives him a bit of runway to still rack up wins regularly. For the year, the Czech netminder is 28-15-3 with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 48 appearances. The Ducks have a tough home matchup ahead, as they'll face the Sabres on Sunday.

Guarding cage versus Mammoth Dostal will patrol the blue paint on the road against Utah on Friday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact 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.
