Schneider will guard the net when the Devils host the Jets on Thursday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider has posted an uncharacteristically poor streak between the pipes, going 0-2-0 since returning from a groin injury and 0-7-2 in his last nine appearances. He hasn't allowed fewer than three goals in any game over that span, owning a 3.80 GAA and just a .895 save percentage. He will attempt to bust out of his slump Thursday, but a matchup with a Jets club notching 3.69 goals per game since the All-Star break makes it less likely he will do so.

Schneider gave up three goals on 27 shots in Sunday's loss to Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
This marks Schneider's third consecutive loss since returning from a groin injury and eighth straight loss overall. The 31-year-old drops to 17-13-6 on the season with a .912 save percentage. Schneider remains a must-own fantasy goaltender, but he's struggling right now, so exhibit caution and look at the given matchup before getting him in your lineup.

Schneider will be stationed between the pipes on Sunday against Vegas, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider took a loss against the Panthers on Friday, giving up three goals in his first appearance since Jan. 23. The 6-foot-3 goaltender has a 2.79 GAA and .913 save percentage along with a 17-12-6 record on the year. A matchup against the Golden Knights could be prove to be a struggle for Schneider.

Schneider (groin) allowed three goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Aleksander Barkov was Schneider's kryptonite in this one, as the 22-year-old phenom potted two of the hosts' three goals. While this one didn't go Schneider's way, it was encouraging to see the veteran goalie play up to his usual standards in his first action since Jan. 23.

Schneider (groin) will tend the twine against the Panthers on Thursday, Deb Placey of MSG Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider last played Jan. 23 in Boston and has missed the Devils' previous 16 contests due to his groin ailment. With the 31-year-old good to go, New Jersey should give him the bulk of the starts the rest of the way in order to help the team secure its playoff spot. The last time the netminder matched up with Florida, he gave up three goals on 38 shots in a losing effort.

Schneider (groin) was recalled from AHL and is in Florida with the team ahead of Thursday's game against the Panthers, Andrew Gross of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider remains on injured reserve for the moment, but it wouldn't be surprising if the team activated him ahead of Thursday's tilt. Given that the Panthers have a back-to-back road set on deck, it's also possible he will sit out Thursday and make his return to the lineup Friday against the Hurricanes. More information on that front should surface at some point Thursday, but Schneider's return should spell an end to Keith Kinkaid's run as the primary netminder.

Schneider (groin) stopped 19 of 20 shots on goal for AHL Binghamton in Tuesday's matchup with AHL Belleville.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider logged the full 60 minutes in his return to the ice as part of his conditioning assignment. Barring any unforeseen setbacks, the Massachusetts native's performance should clear the way for him to suit up either Thursday or Friday against the Panthers or Hurricanes respectively. In order to patrol the crease for the Devils, the netminder will need to be recalled from the minors and activated off injured reserve.

Schneider (groin) was assigned to AHL Binghamton for conditioning purposes Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This signals that Schneider is on the mend and nearing a return to action with the parent club. According to this latest report, the 31-year-old netminder will accompany the AHL's Devils for morning skate Tuesday, and we suspect another update on him will surface following that session. Fantasy owners are advised to stay patient with the veteran who's crafted a robust .921 save percentage over 365 career games between the Canucks and Devils.

Schneider (groin) did not accompany his team to Pittsburgh ahead of Tuesday's road clash with the Penguins, Andrew Gross of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gross elaborated on his report, noting that the veteran goalie could rejoin the Devils later on in the road trip, perhaps in Florida on Thursday or the following day in Carolina. Schneider reportedly returned to a full practice Monday, so we imagine his return isn't that far off.

Schneider (groin) took part in his first full practice session with the Devils on Monday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider is trending in the right direction toward being available sooner rather than later, which is good news for fantasy owners. While the netminder will need to be activated off injured reserve, the Devils won't necessarily need to make a corresponding move since the 23-man roster limit is no longer in affect. Once given the all-clear, look for Schneider to see the bulk of the starts the rest of the way.
