Dostal stopped 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Starting versus Kings
Rotowire
Dostal will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Kings, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Dostal went 2-2-1 with 15 goals allowed over his previous five outings before getting a breather Friday versus the Flames. He got extra reps while John Gibson was sidelined with an upper-body injury. It's not a fantasy-friendly matchup for Dostal in Saturday's contest, especially because the Ducks are in the second half of a back-to-back.

Dostal is 12-22-3 with a 3.47 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 41 outings this season.
