Devils' Cory Schneider: Defending cage

Schneider will start in net Tuesday night on the road against the Stars, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Dallas is certainly a formidable opponent for Schneider (6-3-2 and .927 save mark), as last year's scoring leader has won two out of its past three games with 11 goals over that span. The 30-year-old is one of the league's best between the pipes, but you're bound to find goalies with better matchups on a heavy 13-game slate.
