VIDEO: Devils' Schneider pulled after embarrassing blunder
Eric Hartline / USA Today
New Jersey Devils netminder Cory Schneider's night ended in a very unfortunate way on Thursday.
Schneider allowed the Washington Capitals to score their fifth goal of the night 3:25 into the third period when Caps winger Joel Ward dumped the puck in off the end boards where it ricocheted into the crease, off Schneider's skate and into the net.

Scott Clemmensen replaced Schneider, who stopped 21-of-26 shots after entering the contest after stopping 95-of-101 shots in three-straight victories.
