#canucks Cory Schneider starts versus #oilers.

Schneider will get his ninth straight start tonight. After winning six straight he has now lost each of his last two starts. In one of those losses he allowed two goals on the first two shots before being pulled against the Oilers, who he plays tonight. He will likely lower his 57.50 GAA against Edmonton tonight.

Projected starting goaltenders:COL- Semyon Varlamov (2012-13 stats: 10-17-3, 2.99 GAA) and NSH- Pekka Rinne (2012-13 stats: 13-10-7, 2.33 GAA)

Varlamov was pulled after giving up three goals on 13 shots in yesterday's game vs. the Red Wings. He will likely be back in goal tonight because he is the clear #1 goalie in Colorado and he did not last long last night. He is still looking for his first win on the road this season.
