Lukas Dostal

Lukas Dostal was solid in net for the Ducks Sunday night, stopping 28 of 30 shots faced in a 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

Fantasy Impact

Dostal has fought consistency issues in goal to begin the season, allowing three or more goals in three of four starts (1-2-1) for the Ducks. Fantasy managers should trust more stable netminding options to begin the season, as Dostal will need to provide head coach Joel Quenneville with more stability between the pipes before he can be trusted at this point.

Lukas Dostal struggled in the crease for the Ducks Thursday night, allowing four goals on 31 shots faced in a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Fantasy Impact

Dostal has struggled to keep the puck out of the back of the net to begin the season, allowing three or more goals in all three of his starts (1-2-0) for the Ducks. The netminder will need to settle down between the pipes to hold onto new head coach Joel Quenneville's trust in net as the season continues.

Lukas Dostal allowed three goals on 25 shots faced in a Ducks' 4-3 win over the Penguins Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact

Dostal has underwhelmed in goal to begin the season, allowing three goals in each of his first two starts (1-1-0) for the Ducks. The 25-year-old will look to settle down between the pipes playing behind a young Anaheim lineup as the season progresses.

Lukas Dostal allowed three goals on 31 shots faced in the Ducks' 3-1 loss to the Kraken Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

Dostal fell victim to a lack of offensive support in the season opener, posting a .903 save percentage in the loss. The 25-year-old should continue to receive all of the netminding work he can handle playing behind a young Anaheim lineup as the season continues.

Lukas Dostal allowed five goals on 36 shots in Sunday’s 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit. The 24-year-old netminder struggled early, conceding three goals within the first 5:06 of play. Two of those goals came just 30 seconds apart on a Detroit power play following back-to-back Anaheim penalties.

Fantasy Impact

Dostal's record drops to 16-13-5 with a 2.92 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Sunday marked the fifth time this season he has allowed five or more goals, and his early struggles in this contest inflated his numbers despite a stronger showing in the later periods. With John Gibson (upper body) considered day-to-day, Dostal could be in line for another start Tuesday against the Sabres. Fantasy managers should monitor Gibson's status, as Dostal’s workload may increase in the short term.
