Dostal should get the start after John Gibson left Saturday's game against the Predators, though Gibson is not expected to be out for long, and may even be available for this matchup.
Dostal ended up winning the game against the Preds, allowing just one goal on 33 shots (.970 SP), and now faces a Kraken team playing the second half of a back-to-back while the Ducks are coming off a two-day break.
Given how poor Grubauer has been throughout his career with the Kraken, Dostal is clearly the better play. He has a chance to rack up the saves and potentially get the win. Grubauer has a .870 SP on the season and only five wins in 20 starts. Even with the Ducks offense being so poor most of the time, they should at least be able to pump a few past Grubauer.
Dostal is the better play and arguably the best streaming option on a night where not many options are available. He has a good chance to earn the win and will very likely have a higher save percentage, too. Even if Gibson starts, he's far more desirable than Grubauer.
