Emery will be in the crease for Thursday's game against the Lightning, CSN's Sam Carchidi reports.

Analysis:

Emery turned in a third straight quality outing his last time out, and he will be rewarded with his fourth start in as many games Thursday. Head coach Craig Berube said earlier in the week he is simply riding the hot hand in going with Emery over Steve Mason of late, but Emery has been the far more effective of the two early this season.
