The 24-year-old Dostal has an impressive 2.69 GAA and .924 SV% in 13 appearances this season (5-6-2). The Ducks, sporting a .500 record (8-8-3) despite having the least potent offensive in the league (2.52 GF / GP), enter Monday's contest as +134 home underdogs against a Kraken club that has scored three or fewer goals in five straight (3-2-0).
Kreider will not play on Monday against the St. Louis Blues but is not expected to be out of the lineup for long.

The Ducks will turn back to Dostal on Monday after John Gibson got the nod against the Red Wings on Friday.

The 24-year-old netminder owns a disappointing 4-6-2 record despite an impressive .922 SV% on the season. He will need to be at his best on Monday as the Ducks enter action as massive +350 underdogs in Dallas.
