Schneider cleared waivers Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schneider was placed on waivers Monday, and now that he has cleared, he can be sent down to the AHL without the risk of another team claiming him. The fact that the Islanders placed Schneider on waivers in the first place likely means that Semyon Varlamov (soreness) is ready to be activated off of injured reserve and travel with the team when they play the Predators on Saturday.
