For the first time all season, Schneider will not be the starting goalie in a game for the Devils. Instead, backup Scott Clemmensen will man the net Saturday against the Flames, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

For the first time all season, Schneider will not be the starting goalie in a game for the Devils. Instead, backup Scott Clemmensen will man the net Saturday against the Flames, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Analysis:

At long last, Schneider's streak of 20 straight starts to open the season will come to an end. He concluded it in glorious fashion with his second shutout of the season Friday night, but it was never going to be sustainable for coach Pete DeBoer to lean on him quite so heavily. He'll still be the odds-on favorite to lead the league in goalie starts, but expect Schneider to see more frequent days off in the second half of the season.
