The Anaheim Ducks are navigating a critical offseason, with a key player, goalie Lukas Dostal, still unsigned after the departure of veteran John Gibson. Dostal, projected as the starting goalie, recently filed for arbitration, hinting at a potential resolution soon. NHL writer Joe Tansey predicts the Ducks will rely on Dostal to lead a young team potentially eyeing a playoff spot in the near future.

Despite the uncertainty, confidence in Dostal remains high, given his previous solid performance last season with a GAA of 3.10 and a save percentage of .903. Complementing him will be experienced backups Ville Husso and Petr Mrazek, but Dostal's ability to rise to the occasion could be pivotal for Anaheim’s success in the upcoming season.
