Schneider will be in the net for Thursday's game against the Avalanche, Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Schneider seems to have hit his first rough patch since the calendar flipped to 2015, as he's taken losses his last two times out while conceding a combined eight goals. The minor dip in production won't prevent the Devils from continuing to call Schneider's number regularly, and fantasy owners shouldn't sound the alarm either. He'll make for a solid play against an underachieving Avalanche squad that is expected to be without No. 1 netminder Semyon Varlamov (groin) on Thursday.
