Dostal turned aside 17 of 19 shots during Wednesday's 2-1 preseason loss to the Kings.
Dostal got his first taste of preseason action ahead of the 2026-27 campaign Wednesday, but he allowed a pair of goals late in the first frame and didn't get much offensive support. Dostal appears to be in line to serve as the Ducks' primary netminder once again this year after he went 30-20-4 with a 3.10 GAA and .888 save percentage across 56 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.
