Howard allowed one goal on 38 shots in the Penguins win over the Penguins on Sunday. Howard has won two in a row and has played really well in his last four games, stopping 126 of 133 shots (.947 SV%). Tonight he makes for a strong option as he goes up against a Senators team that has lost five of their last six and 17 of their last 21 (4-14-3).
Lundqvist allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Rangers win over the Sabres in the Winter Classic. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Lundqvist, who will face the Blackhawks for the second time this season—in their first meeting he allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 6-3 loss.

Mantha has missed the last two games but he took the ice for Tuesday’s practice and said that he will play tonight vs. the Senators. Mantha had a hot-start to the season, picking up 10 goals and nine assists (19 points) in his first 19 games, but has just five points (3G / 2A) in his last 17 games. He is expected to skate on a line with Dylan Larkin and Tomas Tatar.
The Senators have been terrible this season and their power-play sits at 25th in the NHL (15.9%). Chabot is a gifted young offensive-defenseman and after changing their power-play coach, Chabot becomes the quarterback of the top unit with Erik Karlsson on his left and Mark Stone on his right.
Rinne allowed three goals on 37 shots in the Predators loss in Minnesota last Friday. Juuse Saros gave him the night off on Saturday so they will come back to Rinne tonight in Vegas. Rinne has slipped lately, losing three of four with a 4.26 GAA and .880 SV% and draws an awful road matchup tonight.

Alex Stalock started on Saturday, but it was a great return to the crease for Dubnyk, who is expected to make his 25th appearance tonight.

Reimer stopped all 38 shots that he faced in the Panthers shutout win over the Canadiens on Saturday. Reimer has won five straight while posting an impressive 1.20 GAA and .966 SV%.

After a great four-game winning streak, Talbot has now dropped three straight while allowing a combined 13 goals on 113 shots (.885 SV%).

Miller allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Ducks win in Brooklyn on December 21st. Miller has gone 2-1-3 with a 2.60 GAA and .919 SV% on the road this season and tonight he gets a chance against his former team for the second time this season—Miller stopped 13 of 14 shots in a 4-1 win in mid-November.
