What It Means:

Kinkaid will then get Saturday's game off as Cory Schneider makes him return from a knee injury. Kinkaid has a 2.78 goals against average and .904 save percentage in 21 contests this season.

We project Kinkaid to face 28.65 shots against the Panthers, making 25.85 saves (2.79 goals allowed) and giving himself just a 23 percent chance at earning the victory. He's our 17th-ranked goalie out of 20 for Thursday's slate.
