However, it has been his worst season in the AHL in a long time. He last recorded below a .900 SV% in 2014-2015 with the <a  href=\"https:\/\/theahl.com\/stats\/roster\/312\/48\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Springfield Falcons<\/a>, where he was sent down to the ECHL before leaving to play in Sweden for two seasons.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means<\/h3>\n<p>Although he may not get too many NHL starts, it solidifies someone in the net for San Diego. It also provides them with a third-string they can rely on in case one of Eithetr Dostal or Gibson goes down. Dansk being on a two-way deal makes it easy for the Ducks to bring him up and send him down when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Dansk<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2020\/06\/11\/vegas-golden-knights-extend-oscar-dansk\/\" target=\"_self\"> last played in the NHL with the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> in 2020-2021 for one game and got shelled for four goals against. He would spend the rest of the season with the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL.<\/p>\n<h3>Could This Impact The Ducks?<\/h3>\n<p>This is a pretty low-risk move. However, it uses up a contract on a goalie instead of bringing in more consistent scoring and forwards.<\/p>\n<p>But the biggest thing this addresses is the &#8216;what if?&#8217; in case they lose one of two starters. It also adds a solid number-one option for San Diego, considering that Dostal, the Gulls&#8217; starter last year,<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2024\/09\/01\/2024-25-puck-drop-preview-anaheim-ducks\/\" target=\"_self\"> will most likely be the full-time starter at the NHL level<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>MAIN PHOTO: BRANDON MAGPANTAY\/ Special to The Desert Sun \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Anaheim Ducks have bolstered their goaltending depth for this upcoming season by signing Oscar Dansk to a one-year, two-way deal.
