Schneider assumed the starter's net Saturday ahead of the evening's home contest against the Hurricanes, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Backup tender Keith Kinkaid was the last one to represent the Devils in goal -- he took a road loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday -- so Schneider will try for a better outcome facing a Carolina team ranked 19th in the league at 2.61 goals per contest. Schneider has gone 5-8-3 with underwhelming peripherals (2.68 GAA, .915 save percentage) over 17 games in 2017. There's no disputing that Schneider is a talented backstop, but this has been a forgettable campaign for the 31-year-old Massachusetts native.
