Devils' Kinkaid receives 2nd straight start following birth of Schneider's son

Keith Kinkaid will receive his second straight start for the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night versus the Nashville Predators, as the team's incumbent starter, Cory Schneider, remains absent following the birth of his son.

Kinkaid made 22 saves and took the loss in New Jersey's 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Washington Capitals in his first start of the season Saturday night.

Schneider appeared in all but 13 games last season.
