Schneider announced his retirement from professional hockey Tuesday, according to Phil Stacey of The Salem News.
Schneider posted 171 wins, a 2.43 GAA, a .918 save percentage and 26 shutouts in 410 career contests for the Canucks, Devils and Islanders across 13 NHL seasons. The 37-year-old netminder spent most of the past two campaigns in the AHL with Bridgeport.
Schneider was assigned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.
Schneider didn't see any NHL action behind Ilya Sorokin during the absence of Semyon Varlamov (lower body). The Islanders activated Varlamov from injured reserve Monday in a corresponding move.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: May not make trip
Rotowire
Schneider may not travel with the team on their upcoming road trip, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Semyon Varlamov (lower body) has been on injured reserve and will make the trip with the team, which would suggest that he is getting close to a return to action. If the Islanders believe Varlamov is ready to at least back up Ilya Sorokin on Sunday in Seattle, they may elect to send Schneider back to the AHL.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Called up by Islanders
Rotowire
Schneider was an emergency recall from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.
Schneider has a 2.51 GAA and .921 save percentage in 15 AHL contests this season. He was summoned because Semyon Varlamov is dealing with a lower-body injury. The Islanders will play against the Rangers on Thursday and Florida on Friday, so if Varlamov isn't available for either of those contests, then perhaps Schneider will start in one of them.

Rotowire
Schneider was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Schneider was up with the big club as fill-in for Semyon Varlamov (undisclosed). The Islanders' next game is Thursday versus the Rangers, so Schneider could be recalled if Varlamov isn't able to suit up as the backup.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Recalled Sunday
Rotowire
Schneider was promoted from AHL Bridgeport on Sunday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Schneider was waived by the Islanders on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Schneider is behind Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov on the Isles' depth chart, so he was always expected to start the season in the minors. The 36-year-old vet appeared in only one game with the big club in 2021-22.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Grabs one-year deal
Rotowire
Schneider signed a one-year contract with the Islanders on Wednesday.
While the team didn't announce the contract specifics, it is likely that Schneider is on a two-way deal considering Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov are cemented as the goaltending tandem on Long Island. As such, Schneider figures to serve as an emergency depth option who will play primarily in the minors.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Back in minors
Rotowire
Schneider has been returned to the minors and will start for AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Schneider saw action in one game for the Isles this season in which he gave up three goals on 30 shots in a winning effort over the Devils. Schneider's demotion to the minors should be an indication that Ilya Sorokin (upper body) will at least be fit enough to back up versus the Stars on Tuesday.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Wins in return to NHL
Rotowire
Schneider made 27 saves in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Making his first appearance in the NHL in over two years, Schneider faced the team he last suited up for and got some revenge, though the 36-year-old nearly blew it after the Islanders handed him a 3-0 lead late in the second period. With Ilya Sorokin on the shelf due to an upper-body injury, Schneider will continue to back up Semyon Varlamov for now, but his workload will likely be limited.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Sent down Wednesday
Rotowire
Schneider was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Schneider was the backup for Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets with Ilya Sorokin (undisclosed) out of action. The Islanders have an upcoming back-to-back Thursday against Columbus and Friday versus the Rangers, so Schneider could return to the big club if Sorokin isn't fit to play.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Brought back up
Rotowire
Schneider was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Monday, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.
Schneider's call-up likely means not-so-good news for fellow netminder Ilya Sorokin, who departed Sunday's game against Tampa Bay with an undisclosed injury. Schneider hasn't suited up for NHL action since 2019-20 with the Devils but has played quite well this year in the AHL, as evidenced by his 2.68 GAA and .921 save percentage across 25 appearances.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Demoted to minors
Rotowire
Schneider was dropped to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.
Schneider hasn't played in an NHL game over the previous two seasons, instead exclusively playing in the minors with AHL Bridgeport. Unless a goalie injury comes up, Schneider shouldn't be expected to see any games with the Islanders this year, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Clears waivers
Rotowire
Schneider cleared waivers Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Schneider was placed on waivers Monday, and now that he has cleared, he can be sent down to the AHL. The fact that the Islanders placed Schneider on waivers in the first place likely means that Semyon Varlamov (undisclosed) is ready to be activated from injured reserve and travel with the team when they play the Predators on Saturday.

Rotowire
Schneider was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Islanders' Cory Schneider: Likely to hit waiver wire
Rotowire
Schneider is expected to be placed on waivers before the Islanders open the season versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
This is just a procedural move, as the Islanders expect him to clear waivers, and once that happens, his contract can be filed with the NHL. Schneider is expected to back up Ilya Sorokin to start the season until Semyon Varlamov (undisclosed) is ready to play.
