Analysis:

It will be a battle of two of the game's hottest goalies in Dubnyk and the Sens' Andrew Hammond, a development unforeseen at this point last season, when both looked to be washouts at the AHL level. Dubnyk has sustained his stellar play far longer than Hammond has, so he still looks to be the favorite to come away with the victory Tuesday in what projects to be a low-scoring affair.
