Devils' Cory Schneider: Gets starting nod Thursday

Schneider will tend the twine against the Penguins on Thursday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Schneider gets the unenviable task of trying to shut down the league's best offense -- Pittsburgh is averaging 3.37 goals and 33.9 shots per game. The silver lining for the netminder is the number of high-profile injuries currently impacting the Pens' lineup, but so far, that hasn't seemed to slow them down.
