In goal Thursday Dostal will get the starting nod at home for Game 6 versus the Oilers on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Despite getting pulled in Game 5 after giving up three goals on nine shots, Dostal will be back in the crease for a chance to close out the Oilers in Game 6. In the playoffs, the Czech backstop is 3-2-0 with a 4.32 GAA and .864 save percentage after giving up at least three goals in all five appearances.

Chased early in Game 5 Dostal stopped six of nine shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

Impact The Ducks got blitzed in the first period, leading to head coach Joel Quenneville pulling Dostal after the third goal in an effort to light a spark under his team. While no comeback materialized, Dostal ended up getting some rest that should allow him to be fresher for Thursday's Game 6 in Anaheim. He's 3-2 with 18 goals allowed on 132 shots over five games this postseason, so Dostal represents a high-risk option for fantasy managers who want to turn to him moving forward.

Guarding cage Tuesday Dostal will patrol the crease on the road in Game 5 against the Oilers on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dostal has given up three or more goals in each of his last six outings, posting a 3-2-1 record, 3.65 GAA and .870 save percentage along the way. While those ratios aren't great, all three of those wins came in the postseason, giving the Ducks a 3-1 series lead.

Overcomes rough first period Dostal stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 4.

Impact The Oilers scored the first two goals of the game, but Dostal was able to settle in after that, giving up just one more goal to Evan Bouchard in the third. This was the first time in the series Dostal has held Edmonton to less than four goals, and the effort was enough to put the Ducks up 3-1 in the series. Dostal has stopped 107 of 122 shots in total, an .877 save percentage for the series. Still, he's outplayed the Oilers' goaltenders, and it'll likely be Dostal between the pipes Tuesday in Game 5 with a chance to knock out the two-time defending Western Conference champions.

Getting start Sunday Dostal will get the start Sunday in Game 4 against the Oilers, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact It's been an offense-heavy series as Dostal has allowed four goals in each of the first three games but is 2-1 overall, thanks to plenty of goal support from his team. Expanding the time frame, the 25-year-old has allowed at least three goals in 10 of his last 11 starts. Overall, his first postseason has him with a 4.05 GAA and an .874 save percentage so far.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Holds on for win Dostal stopped 20 of 24 shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

Impact A four-goal third period by the Ducks gave Dostal enough breathing room to get his second straight win. This has been the first-round series to watch for fans of offense -- the two teams have combined for 28 goals across three games. Dostal hasn't been great, but he's been consistent, allowing four goals in each contest so far, giving up 12 tallies on 95 shots. As long as the results go his way, he's likely to remain between the pipes, so look for him to get the nod in Game 4 on Sunday.

Getting start in Game 3 Dostal will protect the home goal in Game 3 on Friday versus the Oilers, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dostal stopped 33 of 37 shots in the Ducks' Game 2 win to tie the series at 1-1. The 25-year-old netminder is locked in as the Ducks' starter, and it would seemingly take an injury or an extremely poor sequence of games for Ville Husso to get a look in the playoffs.

APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE

Evens series in Game 2 Dostal stopped 33 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

Impact The Oilers rarely let the Ducks get much breathing room, but Dostal was able to protect a lead over the last five minutes of the game. This was Dostal's second career playoff game and first win, though he has allowed eight goals on 71 shots over the first two contests of this series. Still, he's unlikely to get bumped from the No. 1 job in goal, especially if the Ducks can give him enough support to keep things close. Game 3 is in Anaheim on Friday.

Set to face Edmonton Dostal is expected to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 2 on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Dostal stopped 30 of 34 shots in a 4-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 1 on Monday. The 25-year-old also struggled at the end of the regular season, going 2-5-1 with a 3.63 GAA and an .857 save percentage across his final eight appearances. He'll attempt to rebound Wednesday, but it will be difficult against the Oilers, who ranked sixth in goals per game during the regular season with an average of 3.44.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

Beaten four times in Game 1 Dostal stopped 30 of 34 shots in Monday's 4-3 loss against the Oilers in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

Impact Dostal ended the regular season on a sour note after posting a save percentage below .900 in five of his last six starts, and that trend continued in this playoff opener. Dostal has a daunting task ahead of him, though, as the Oilers were among the best offenses in the league in the regular season and also welcomed Leon Draisaitl back from a lower-body injury that forced him to sit out the final 14 games of the regular season. Dostal should remain between the posts for Game 2 of the series Wednesday at Rogers Place.

Game 1 starter Dostal will defend the road net against Edmonton on Monday in Game 1, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dostal posted a 30-20-4 record with a 3.10 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 56 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. In two outings against the Oilers over that time, he allowed eight goals on 60 shots en route to a 1-1-0 record.

Tagged with another loss Dostal stopped 17 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact Dostal has been slumping of late, and even though the Ducks clinched a spot in the playoffs, the play of their No. 1 goaltender has been concerning, to say the least. Dostal has won just one of his last seven starts, going 1-5-1 with a 3.72 GAA and a subpar .850 save percentage over that stretch. It remains to be seen if Dostal will start in the regular-season finale at Nashville with the Stanley Cup playoffs right around the corner.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Wild Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Wild on Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Dostal will face a vastly depleted Wild lineup, which sees nine players out of action. The Ducks still have positioning to play for, so they'll turn to their No. 1. Dostal has struggled in April, going 1-3-1 with 20 goals allowed on 120 shots over his last five games.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Loses to Canucks in overtime Dostal allowed four goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact This wasn't exactly a great performance for the 25-year-old, though two of the goals against came on Vancouver power plays. Dostal has dropped five of his last six games (1-4-1), allowing at least three goals in each defeat in that span. For the season, he's down to 30-19-4 with a 3.10 GAA and an .889 save percentage over a career-high 55 appearances. The Ducks haven't yet secured their playoff spot, so Dostal seems likely to get the nod Tuesday in Minnesota.

Patrolling home blue paint Dostal will be between the home pipes against the Ducks on Sunday, per Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett.

Impact Dostal bounced back Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Sharks after several shaky performances. The 25-year-old is 1-3-0 with a 4.01 GAA and an .830 save percentage through four appearances in April. Dostal has a favorable matchup Sunday against the Canucks, who are on the second half of a back-to-back -- Vancouver picked up a 4-3 shootout win in San Jose on Saturday.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

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.
