Lukáš Dostál’s performance in net has been a true wonder of the 2024-25 NHL season so far. You’ve got the miserable Ducks at the bottom of the Pacific Division, but you’ve also got the second-best goalie in terms of Goals Saved Above Expected in the league. On one hand, if the Ducks’ defense was any better, Dostál wouldn’t have had the opportunity to make many of those saves above expected. So even though it’s a bummer Anaheim is totally wasting an epic goaltending season, at least they’ve found out in a very tried-and-true way that they’ve got something special in Dostál.
