Anaheim Ducks News

The Ducks are off to a very strong 5-3-1 start to the season and will turn to Dostal between the pipes on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings. Dostal was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old Czech goalie has a 2.84 GAA and .906 SV% in seven games this season (3-3-1). The Ducks enter Friday's contest as -118 home favorites against a red-hot Red Wings team that defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in a shootout last night.

The Ducks will hand Dostal his seventh start of the season when they travel to Florida on Tuesday. Dostal was tagged with the loss in his last outing, allowing four goals on 33 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Lightning on Saturday. The 25-year-old netminder carries a 2-3-1 record and .899 SV% into Tuesday's game, where the Ducks enter action at +160 on the money line.

After a five-point effort last Thursday (2G / 3A), Granlund suffered a lower-body injury in his next game, exiting the contest after only 6:07 time-on-ice. The 33-year-old Finnish forward is in his first season with the Ducks and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.

Pitre had been dealing with an upper-body injury since the beginning of the season and has been activated from the Injured-Non Roster and been assigned to San Diego (AHL). The 20-year-old forward is entering his second professional season in San Diego after having three goals, 16 points and 19 PIMs in 61 GP last season.

The Ducks will hand Dostal the reigns between the pipes for the fifth time this season when they head to Nashville to take on the Predators on Tuesday. Dostal was unfortunate not to secure a victory in his last start, allowing just two goals on 30 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss in Chicago on Sunday. His record now sits at 1-2-1 to go along with his .898 SV% and 3.02 GAA. Dostal and the Ducks enter action on Tuesday at +115 on the money line.

Despite being absent from practice on Thursday to tend to personal matters, Terry will likely play in the evening against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old Terry has been suiting up on a line with Frank Vatrano and Mikael Granlund. Terry has three points (0G / 3A) through three games.

The Ducks are off to a 2-1-0 start to the season, riding a two-game winning streak, and will turn to Dostal on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. After a strong 2024-25 season, earning himself the starting gig in Anaheim, Dostal will look to improve on his 3.08 GAA and .893 SV% through two games this season (1-1-0). The Ducks enter the action on Thursday as +170 home underdogs against a Hurricanes team that remains undefeated this season (3-0-0).

The Ducks have alternated goalies in their first two games this season and will turn back to Dostal on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Dostal played well in his only outing this season, saving 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken. The 25-year-old Czech netminder had a solid 2024-25 season, posting a 3.10 GAA and .903 SV% in 54 appearances (23-23-7), resulting in the offseason departure of John Gibson to the Detroit Red Wings to solidify Dostal as the Ducks' undisputed starting goalie in 2025-26. The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as -134 home favorites against a Penguins team that has scored only 8 goals in its first 3 games (2-1-0).

Washe appeared in two games for Anaheim last season directly after finishing his season with Western Michigan (NCAA), and earned himself a two-year contract worth $812,500 AAV ($1.625M total). The 23-year-old forward was a sought-after free agent after finishing his senior season with Western Michigan in 2024-25 with 16 goals and 38 points in 42 games played.

With the offseason trade of John Gibson to the Detroit Red Wings, the Ducks effectively made Dostal their undisputed starting goalie, starting with Thursday's season-opening matchup against the Seattle Kraken. The 25-year-old Czech netminder had spells of brilliance for a defensively troubled Ducks team last season, posting a 3.10 GAA and .903 SV% in 54 games (23-23-7). The Ducks will need Dostal to pave the way in order for their playoff hopes to be realized. The Ducks enter Thursday's contest as +115 road underdogs against the Kraken.
