Schneider stopped 44 of 49 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

He just emerged from his skid of six consecutive starts with sub-.900 save marks by beating Vancouver on Tuesday, only to backslide right away. Schneider saw the Devils give up an uncharacteristically huge number of shots, resulting in his fifth game of four-plus goals in his last 13 outings. Meanwhile, his teammates managed a mere 21 shots; that one's pretty characteristic for New Jersey, actually. Schneider's too good not to resurrect his lagging stats eventually, but the Devils are not playing well as a whole right now.
