Devils' Cory Schneider: In net Thursday

Schneider will get the starting nod against the Senators on Thursday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Schneider will make his ninth straight appearance between the pipes as the Devils welcome the Senators to town. The netminder has performed significantly better at the Prudential Center, where he's 12-6-3 with a 2.42 GAA -- a big improvement over his 6-10-5 with a 2.89 GAA on the road. This will be the 30-year-old's first outing versus Ottawa this year, as he was on the bench for the two teams' previous meeting.
