Schneider stopped 37 of 40 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
New York's final goal was scored into an empty net, and the final result would have been a lot worse if not for a number of huge saves by Schneider among his season-high 37 that kept the Devils in the game. The 32-year-old is falling into a timeshare with rookie MacKenzie Blackwood -- the two have alternated starts since Feb. 25 -- but Schneider is still capable of playing at a high level, even if his chances of coming away with a win are reduced due to the quality of the team in front of him.

Schneider will start in goal Saturday against the Rangers in New York, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider will look to snap a two-game losing streak behind a New Jersey team that has been ravaged by injuries and finds itself well out of playoff contention. Still, the 32-year-old netminder seems grateful for the opportunity to continue playing down the stretch. "These games are all really meaningful for me," he said. "I haven't played a lot of hockey in the last year, year and a half, at least by my standards. So, it's just fun to play and get out there and get games in. I think we're all out to prove something right now, to ourselves, to coaches, to the management."

Schneider stopped 17 of 18 shots in regulation and overtime but got beaten on both shootout attempts he faced in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
In his defense, the shootout markers were scored by Columbus snipers Cam Atkinson and Artemi Panarin, who have a combined 61 goals on the season. Schneider is now 4-3-1 over his last eight starts with a 2.23 GAA and .924 save percentage, but he'll continue to cede work to rookie MacKenzie Blackwood down the stretch with the Devils headed for the draft lottery.

Schneider, who's been named Tuesday's home starter versus the Blue Jackets, will share the net evenly with rookie MacKenzie Blackwood for the 16 games that remain on New Jersey's schedule, Chris Ryan of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to this latest report, the Devils want to foster an internal competition between the two netminders to determine their future in New Jersey. As it stands now, both are expected to be retained. Schneider has looked great since returning from a significant abdominal injury last month, maintaining a 2.45 GAA and .922 save percentage around a 4-4-1 record in 2019. While Schneider is not winning that many games as a byproduct of the Devils struggling so much as a team (25-33-8), coach John Hynes is hoping to see more consistency out of the 32-year-old down the stretch.

Schneider will tend the home goal in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider has been decent in his past five starts, accumulating a 3-2-0 record to go along with a 2.23 GAA and .929 save percentage in that span. The 32-year-old draws an average matchup against an offense that ranks 11th in goals per game this campaign (3.12).

Schneider stopped 18 of 23 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Philly's final goal was scored into an empty net. Schneider has been giving the Devils a Jekyll and Hyde routine since rejoining the club in early February -- he's allowed one goal or less in five of nine outings, but four goals or more in the other four -- and while his aggregate 2.45 GAA and .922 save percentage during that time are solid, New Jersey could well decide to turn the No. 1 job over to rookie MacKenzie Blackwood down the stretch with the playoffs far out of reach.

Schneider will guard the net in Friday's game against the visiting Flyers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In Schneider's last outing, he made 34 of 35 saves and posted a 1.00 GAA and .971 save percentage while earning a win against Montreal on Monday. Over his last five games, the Massachusetts native is 4-1-0 while sporting a 1.32 GAA and .959 save percentage. Schneider will face a Philadelphia offense that averaged 3.46 goals per game in February, good for sixth-best in the league.

Schneider turned aside 34 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
He had a shutout going through two periods before Montreal was finally able to beat him early in the third. Schneider is now 4-1-0 over his last five outings with a sparkling 1.32 GAA and .959 save percentage, and while the Devils will likely want to give rookie MacKenzie Blackwood a longer look over the final weeks of the season, it's going to be hard to justify sitting Schneider down while he's this hot.

Schneider will be the home starter against the Canadiens on Monday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It has been another disappointing season for Schneider, as he has a 3.43 GAA and .892 save percentage. However, since returning from an injury, things have been looking up for the American netminder. In his last seven games, Schneider has a 2.28 GAA and .929 save percentage.

Schneider made 29 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Rangers on Saturday afternoon. He allowed four goals.
EDGE Analysis
He allowed two goals early in the first and the score was 3-0 by the 14:23 mark of that frame, in large part because his mates weren't ready to play. But Schneids settled down his team down and didn't allow another until after the halfway mark of the third. He has been remarkably sharp for a guy that hadn't played for months. Watch for the Devils to ensure Schneider gets his rest -- those hips and abdomen are healed, but they'll want to keep him healthy.
