Percentiles are based on a three-year weighted average of Fantasy Hockey Standard League Scoring Settings. Percentiles represent the players rank among his respective position.
Dostal stopped 46 of 49 shots (.939 SV%) in the best start of his young career his last time out as he beat the Edmonton Oilers for his second straight win. The 22-year-old has been mediocre while filling in for the Ducks' injured goaltenders, with his 2-1-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .898 SV%. He should be busy yet again as he faces the Los Angeles Kings, who are ninth in the NHL in shots on goal per game (32.9).
Dostal allowed five goals on 15 shots (.667 SV%) as he filled in rather poorly for an injured John Gibson in his previous time out. The 22-year-old has struggled in his two showings this year, with his 0-1-0 record, .849 SV% and 5.38 GAA. He will hope to push his numbers more in the right direction as he takes on the Montreal Canadiens, who are on a back-to-back after coming off a 3-2 loss to Ottawa on Wednesday night.
Dostal served as Anthony Stolarz's backup on Sunday with John Gibson hurt. Returning Dostal to the AHL suggests that Gibson will be available vs. the Kraken on Wednesday.
Dostal, 18, was a third-round pick (No.85 overall) in the 2018 NHL Draft and finished his season with Ilves Tampere in the Finnish Elite League at 4-4-2 with a 1.80 GAA and .920 SV% in 10 games.
