Cory Schneider serving as Devils' netminder versus Toronto

New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider has been named the starter for Friday night's matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

What It Means:

Schneider has already picked up a pair of wins in January, allowing just one goal on 52 shots across two starts. On the season, he is 12-12-5 with a .908 save percentage, 2.74 goals-against average and two shutouts. The Maple Leafs bring a strong attack, and currently rank fifth in the NHL with 3.03 goals for per game.

Schneider is projected to allow 2.4 goals on 26.4 shot attempts versus Toronto, according to our models. We give him a 46.0 percent chance of winning as numberFire's ninth-ranked fantasy option of the night.
