Ducks Recall Stalock As Gibson Is Day-To-Day With Injury

November 1, 2023 at 3:30 pm CDT | by Gabriel Foley 2 Comments

The Anaheim Ducks have recalled goaltender Alex Stalock on an emergency basis, as goaltender John Gibson is out day-to-day with injury. Rookie goaltender Lukáš Dostál will fill in as the team’s starter in Gibson’s absence.

Dostal takes on the starter role only hours after being named the NHL’s ’Rookie of the Month’ for his October performance. The 23-year-old goaltender appeared in five games in October, setting a 4-1-0 record and saving 152 of the 165 shots that he faced, good for a .921 save percentage; a stat that ranks 10th in the NHL among goalies with five or more games played. He was just two games shy of losing his rookie eligibility, playing in 23 NHL games prior to this season. He recorded a dismal 5-12-3 record in those games, although his .902 save percentage spoke to the potential for strong future showings. That potential is certainly shining through now, with Dostal poised for a great opportunity as long as Gibson remains out.

Interim backup Alex Stalock is continuing his journeyman career with a call-up to the Anaheim Ducks – now his fourth NHL team. With three games for the San Diego Gulls this season, Stalock has now played for seven different AHL clubs as well – although two of those teams were different affiliates of the San Jose Sharks. Either way, it’s been a winding career for the 36-year-old Stalock, who was originally picked 112th overall in the 2005 NHL Draft. He will become the 11th player from that draft class to play this season, if he finds his way into Anaheim’s crease.

    I’m afraid that as of today, the way they’ve played so far this season: Dostal should be the No. 1 goalie in Anaheim. Let Gibby check in at No. 2 for a while. Get him hungry and motivated.

    While I don’t disagree with you, I might add that winning some games, scoring some goals and playing defense should also motivate Gibby.
    They’ve been very fun to watch so far this season, better than I expected. Dostal should be 1B this season both for his own maturity and Gibby’s health.
