Devils' Cory Schneider: Will dress for Friday's contest

Schneider (illness) will serve as Keith Kinkaid's backup Friday against the Canadiens, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Schneider missed Friday's morning skate due to an illness, but evidently is feeling well enough to take on a backup role for Friday's contest. The veteran netminder's next opportunity to start will come Saturday against the Flyers.
