2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dostal appears to be the Ducks' goalie of the future, and the future is getting really close as the team is nearly out of its rebuild. However, the 25-year-old netminder still has some things to work on. He had a 23-23-7 record with a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 54 games in 2024-25. Dostal's ratios faded to a 3.52 GAA and an .887 save percentage in March and April, but the Ducks' extremely young defense and his heavy workload down the stretch played a role. Dostal is one of many young goalies in the organization, but he's the most established, and if the team's defense tightens up, he's poised for a breakout year in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks

Upper Body
December 1, 2025
Dostal (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Anaheim recalled Vyacheslav Buteyets from AHL San Diego in a corresponding move. Buteyets will probably serve as Ville Husso's backup in Monday's road game against St. Louis after Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) sustained an injury in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Chicago. Dostal will miss his fourth straight game against the Blues on Monday and could be out until approximately mid-December. However, it remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Dostal started 2023-24 as the backup but seized the starter's reins late in the season. His 14-23-3 record, 3.33 GAA and .902 save percentage in 44 games were solid behind a bad team, but it was his play for Czechia at the IIHF World Championships that really turned heads. Dostal backstopped his team to a gold medal, and he was named Best Goaltender for his 6-2 record with three shutouts, 1.58 GAA and .939 save percentage. He's clearly the future in the Anaheim net, and he's ready to take on a bit more responsibility. Unfortunately, he's somewhat blocked by the untradeable John Gibson, who has struggled for several seasons and is signed for three more. The two men split games last season and could again, but Dostal should really see an uptick in starts to about 50. The Ducks are young, though, so his impact should be tempered.
Dostal is a young goaltender with plenty of promise, but last season he tended the net of a Ducks squad struggling defensively, which resulted in a 4-10-3 record, a 3.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 19 contests. Remarkably, that's actually slightly better numbers than John Gibson, who posted a 3.99 GAA and an .899 save percentage, which highlights just how miserable an experience it is to be a Ducks goaltender. In the long run, Anaheim's core could grow to the point where the Ducks are a serious contender and that might align with Dostal being at his peak. For the 2023-24 campaign, though, he's likely to serve as the backup netminder, and a combination of growing pains and Anaheim's defensive issues are likely to prevent him from putting up passable numbers for most fantasy managers.
