Ducks goalie Lukáš Dostál’s career has taken him from the Czech Republic to Finland to the U.S., but he’ll be sticking around Southern California for at least five more years after agreeing to a contract extension worth $32.5 million.
Dostál, 25, announced his own signing via Ducks social media channels Thursday morning, before the Ducks confirmed via a news release.
“Lukáš has proven he is a No. 1 goaltender and we are so pleased to get this deal done,” Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said in a statement. “He is just entering the prime of his career with his best hockey ahead of him.”
Dostál went 23-23-7 with a .903 save percentage last season, but given his team’s typically poor possession numbers and high shot volume against, he was one of the top goalies in the NHL in terms of goals saved above average.
Before solidifying himself at the NHL level, Dostál was the lynchpin in Czechia’s run to World Championship gold on home soil in the spring of 2024.
