Dostal will start in Edmonton on Friday.

Dostal will get the nod for the tail-end of Anaheim's back-to-back when they travel to Edmonton to take on the Oilers on Friday. Dostal was excellent in his last appearance, stopping 32 of the 34 shots he faced in a 3-2 victory over the Devils on New Year's Eve. The 24-year-old netminder owns a 10-10-3 record and an impressive .914 SV% on the season. He'll need to be at his best again on Friday against Connor McDavid and the Oilers, as the Ducks enter action at +375 on the money line.

It appears John Gibson may still not be fully recovered from his illness, as the Ducks will turn to Dostal for a third consecutive game. Dostal secured the victory his last time out, allowing three goals on 23 shots in a 5-3 win over the Oilers on Sunday. The 24-year-old netminder brings a 9-10-3 record and a .913 SV% into Tuesday's clash with the Devils. He'll need to be at his best again tonight with the Ducks entering action at +230 on the money line.

Mrazek will start for the Blackhawks in the Winter Classic on Tuesday.

The Blackhawks have struggled lately, being outscored 21-10 during a four-game losing skid, and will hope to change their fortunes with Mrazek between the pipes in the Winter Classic on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. After starting the season with a solid .912 SV% in his first 16 games (7-8-1), Mrazek has fallen off significantly, posting a lousy .844 SV% in his last six appearances (0-5-0). The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +125 home underdogs against a Blues club coming off a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

The 33-year-old Kreider scored 206 points (127G / 79A) in 242 games over the previous three seasons but only has 12 points (11G / 1A) in 30 games this season, pacing for the lowest offensive output of his career. Jonny Brodzinski will draw into the lineup on Monday as Kreider's replacement.
