Schneider will be in the crease for Thursday's game against the Capitals, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Assuming that Braden Holtby gets the nod for the Capitals, Thursday's match will feature two of the NHL's three most oft-used goalies this season. Holtby has benefited from significantly more offensive support this season than has Schneider, who has been stuck with a sub-.500 record (26-27-7) over 63 outings, despite ranking third in the league in save percentage (.928) and fifth in GAA (2.17). Getting the win may be too much for fantasy owners to ask from Schneider, but he can be counted on to deliver sterling ratios night in and night out.
