Schneider stopped all 22 shots he faced to shutout Boston on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
While this was Schneider's second shutout in his past four starts, he has also allowed four goals or more in six of his last nine outings. In fact, he entered Monday's contest with an uncharacteristic .885 save percentage, 3.61 GAA and just one win through those prior eight games. After posting a .924 save percentage and a 2.14 GAA over his first three seasons with New Jersey, there is no way to cast 2016-17 as anything other than a disappointment from Schneider. Even following his perfect outing Monday, he can't be started with full confidence until there is a string of solid showings.

Schneider will be between the pipes in Monday's game against Boston, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a few rough outings, .887 save percentage and 3.27 GAA in four games, Schneider got two games off, and the team and fantasy owners hope the break will get him back on track. The Bruins are middle of the pack in scoring, 2.38 goals per game, so Schneider will get a good opportunity to recover.

Schneider saved 24 of 28 shots during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider couldn't solve the Penguins in back-to-back contests, giving up a total of eight goals. The netminder has just two wins in December and has truly struggled. With one shutout aside, the 30-year-old has allowed four or more tallies in seven separate appearances.

Schneider will start in goal Tuesday night, facing the Penguins on home ice, Jim Cerny of The Hockey Writers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider will certainly be looking for a fresh start to the new year, having slumped to a 2.86 GAA through 26 starts this campaign. For perspective, he'd posted no worse than a 2.26 GAA in his first three seasons with the Devils. Schneider did shut out a punchy Flyers team last Thursday, but the Penguins beat him four times for an .897 save mark in his latest outing for the second end of a back-to-back set. The 30-year-old backstop has been terrible on the road but naturally, the opposite holds true when he performs in front of a sea of red -- he's gone 9-1-1 at home and 1-10-4 on the road this season.

Schneider allowed four goals on 39 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Penguins on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old followed up his shutout Thursday with a dud although it was hardly his fault. Pittsburgh badly out-attempted New Jersey in the first 30 minutes, and the Penguins outshot the Devils 39-24. Despite that, it was a one-goal game until the final minute of the second period. New Jersey is really struggling right now, and as a result, the Schneider's fantasy value is suffering. He is 1-5-1 with a 3.55 GAA and .888 save percentage.

Schneider will be in the crease for Friday's tilt with Pittsburgh, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite starting Thursday night, Schneider will start on Friday as well, earning the nod in both games of the back-to-back. Considering he stopped all 16 shots he faced on Thursday, it's hard to blame John Hynes for sticking with the hot hand. The Penguins have scored one or fewer goals in three of their last four, but they scored seven in the other game, so it's tough to tell what version of the hot-and-cold team Schneider will face off against.

Schneider stopped all 16 shots he faced in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The struggling goaltender didn't need to work very hard for this one, as the defense in front of him kept opposing opportunities limited. Despite the shutout, Schneider's 2.81 GAA is still by far his worst mark since 2009-10. If his six straight seasons with a 2.26 or better GAA are any indication, it's only a matter of time until the 30-year-old turns things around.

Schneider will guard the cage in Thursday's home game against the Flyers, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider has been terrible in the month of December, posting a 1-4-2 record with a dreadful 3.82 GAA and .881 save percentage over seven appearances. The American netminder will hope to put his struggles behind him and pick up his 10th win of the season in a tough home matchup with a dangerous Flyers offense that's averaging 2.87 goals per game on the road this season, fourth in the NHL.

Schneider gave up five goals on 32 shots during Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
A bounce-back outing was anticipated, especially with the fact that Nashville only averages 2.27 goals per game. However, that was not the case Tuesday, and now Schneider is staring at a five-game losing streak in the month of December. To make matters worse, the netminder has only recorded one win in the month and has given up four or more tallies in five of seven appearances. It's safe to say Schneider should not be in your fantasy lineups.

Schneider will guard the goal in Tuesday's home game against the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider has struggled in the month of December, posting a 1-3-2 record with an ugly 3.62 GAA and .887 save percentage over six appearances. The 30-year-old goaltender will look to get back on track in a home matchup with a Nashville squad averaging 2.27 goals per game on the road this season, 20th in the NHL.
