Schneider update:
#NJDevils: Cory Schneider will be evaluated this week to see how his rehab is progressing and whether he can be cleared to play. There is a chance he gets in a few AHL games before getting a start back in NHL action.

It was made pretty clear that Kevin Shattenkirk will be a healthy scratch Thursday at the Garden against the Sharks. He said he needs more "urgency" in his game, and Quinn said he needs to regain his confidence after what happened last year. #NYR
