Schneider is out while dealing with an abdominal strain, according to the team. The 32-year-old has appeared in nine games for New Jersey this season — his last, Friday against the Vegas Golden Knights, saw him log just 9:36 minutes before being pulled from the cage with three goals-against on seven shots.
The former Vancouver Canuck missed the early portion of 2018-19 while recovering from a hip injury, and has yet to register a win this season.
In a corresponding move, the Devils recalled young netminder MacKenzie Blackwood on Monday. The 22-year-old is currently sporting a .911 save percentage and 2.67 goals-against average through 15 games for the Devils’ AHL affiliate in Binghampton this season.
New Jersey also has Keith Kinkaid in the fold, who’s put up a .906 save percentage and 2.88 goals-against average through 26 games this season.
