Cam Talbot received the start between the pipes, opposing Cory Schneider for the Devils. Schneider had a 3.23 Goals-Against Average and a .898 save percentage coming into this matchup. The Flyers couldn’t afford to take this game lightly, as a second straight loss would likely be the final blow to their already bleak playoff chances.
