Dostal signed a five-year, $32.5 million contract extension with Anaheim on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dostal took over as the No. 1 option in Anaheim last season, a role that was further cemented when the Ducks shipped John Gibson off to Detroit. For his part, the 25-year-old Dostal posted a 23-23-7 record in 54 games to go with a 3.10 GAA, .903 save percentage and one shutout. While Petr Mrazek figures to serve as the backup, it will be Dostal's crease heading into 2025-26.

Dostal stopped 37 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Dostal came within 22 seconds of playing a potential spoiler for the Wild, but he couldn't quite get this game to the finish line. He then ended up with the loss at 4:42 of overtime when Matt Boldy completed Minnesota's comeback. Dostal is 1-3-1 over his last five outings with 20 goals allowed in that span. He moved to 23-23-7 on the year while adding a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 54 appearances. This was likely Dostal's last start of 2024-25 -- Ville Husso will probably get the nod Wednesday in Winnipeg to close out the campaign.

Dostal was the first netminder off at the morning skate, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com, which indicates he'll tend the road the twine Tuesday in Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Dostal has struggled in back-to-back losses to the Kings and the Avalanche, allowing a total of nine goals on 53 shots (.830 save percentage). The 24-year-old owns a 23-23-6 record, 3.11 GAA and .902 save percentage over 53 appearances in 2024-25. The Wild have netted 17 goals over their last five games, a span in which they are 3-2-0.

Dostal stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
The Avalanche deployed a preseason-esque lineup, and Dostal shut them out for 50 minutes. They went on to score three times in a span of 7:46 against Dostal before icing it with an empty-netter. There have been some setbacks for the Ducks this year, but that's a tough loss to swallow, given the circumstances. Dostal has lost three of his last four games while allowing 17 goals in that span. He's now at a 23-23-6 record with a 3.11 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 53 outings. The Ducks conclude their season with a road back-to-back, with visits to the Wild on Tuesday and the Jets on Wednesday. If John Gibson (lower body) doesn't travel, Dostal and Ville Husso will likely split those starts.

Dostal will protect the home net against Colorado on Sunday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Dostal surrendered six goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kings. He has a 23-22-6 record with one shutout, a 3.11 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 52 appearances this season. Colorado sits sixth in the league with 3.32 goals per game in 2024-25, but the team is resting several regulars down the stretch, including Nathan MacKinnon (undisclosed) and Cale Makar (rest).

Dostal stopped 23 of 29 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The final Freeway Face-Off of the season went heavily in favor of the Kings, while Dostal allowed six goals for the second time in three starts. It's possible a heavy workload down the stretch is catching up with him, but the Ducks have been missing John Gibson to various injuries, including his current lower-body issue, over the better part of the last two months. Dostal is now 23-22-6 with a 3.11 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 52 outings this season. The Ducks' next game is their home finale versus the Avalanche on Sunday.

Dostal is set to start on the road against Los Angeles on Thursday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Dostal stopped 45 of 47 shots (.957 save percentage) en route to a 3-2 win over Edmonton on Monday. It was a strong showing in what has been a challenging campaign overall -- he's 23-21-6 with a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 51 outings. The Kings are tied for 18th in the league in goals per game with 2.94.

Dostal stopped 45 of 47 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Dostal tied his season-high mark in saves in a single game in an impressive showing, and he was beaten just twice by Edmonton, although the Oilers were missing two of the most prolific forwards in the league in Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Connor McDavid (lower body), so he wasn't playing Edmonton at anywhere close to its best. Dostal has secured the win in three of his previous six appearances, going 3-2-0 with a 3.52 GAA and an .885 save percentage in that span.

Dostal turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
After Troy Terry opened the scoring 81 seconds into the first period to give the Ducks a brief lead, Dostal found himself under siege and got beaten five times before the first intermission mercifully arrived. The 24-year-old netminder is having a rough finish to the season, giving up more than three goals six times in his last 10 outings while going 3-5-1 with a 4.08 GAA and .863 save percentage.
