Uh oh. Cory Schneider is leaving the game after giving up a goal early in the third. Was in some pain near the bench before he eventually went down the tunnel.

Jets’ Jack Roslovic scored with 17:19 left in the third period to make it 4-2 when Mackenzie Blackwood entered the game in Schneider’s place. He had stopped 19 of 21 shots in New Jersey’s season opener.

It isn’t yet known what the extent of Schneider’s injury is or whether he’ll miss any time as a result.
