Schneider is coming off a 4 game win streak, in which he posted a .955 save percentage through those games. A far better performance than his start to the season at the NHL level.
After posting an 0-4-1 start to the season, with an .852 save percentage and allowing 4.59 GAA, the former all-star was placed on waivers and assigned to the AHL midway through November.
This will be his first time back at the NHL level in nearly two months.
It is anticipated that he will get the nod to start in net Sunday against Tampa Bay.
