Schneider will guard the net for Thursday's opener against the Panthers, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schneider put up excellent numbers last season, as his 2.15 GAA and .924 save percentage were both good enough for fourth in the league. His win total has increased in each of the last three seasons and could rise once more if he can keep up the good play and if the rest of the Devils can keep up the pace.
