Rangers' Braden Schneider: Lights lamp Saturday
Rotowire
Schneider scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Utah.
Schneider has added seven shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over two games. The 23-year-old defenseman has moved onto the second pairing to begin the year while Ryan Lindgren (upper body) is on injured reserve. Schneider has yet to record a 20-point season, but he was just one shy last year while adding ample hits and blocked shots, so he has a path to fantasy usefulness in deep formats.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Agrees to extension
Rotowire
Schneider signed a two-year, $4.4 million contract with the Rangers on Saturday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
It'll be a bridge deal, carrying an AAV of $2.2 million, for the 22-year-old Schneider after he posted five goals, 19 points and a minus-1 rating while playing in all 82 games last season. Schneider has emerged as a steady third-pairing blueliner in New York, and he could be in line for a larger role in the 2024-25 campaign.

Rotowire
Schneider recorded an assist, four hits, six blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.
Schneider set up the first of Barclay Goodrow's two goals in the game. This was Schneider's second point (both assists) this postseason.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Logs assist in Game 4
Rotowire
Schneider provided an assist and blocked four shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.
Schneider snapped his eight-game point drought with the primary helper on Barclay Goodrow's tally in the second period. Through eight playoff contests, Schneider has eight shots on net, 14 hits, 14 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating. The 22-year-old defenseman remains in a bottom-four role, and after logging 19 points, 167 hits and 133 blocks in 82 regular-season outings, his contributions are likely to remain limited to physical play.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Collects helper in win
Rotowire
Schneider notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
Schneider entered Sunday on a seven-game point drought. The 22-year-old defenseman often goes extended periods of time without a point while playing in a third-pairing role. He's up to 18 points through 78 contests, matching his output from 81 games a year ago. Schneider has added 90 shots on net, 155 hits, 126 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating in 2023-24.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Continues to focus on defense
Rotowire
Schneider notched four blocked shots and one hit to go with a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Schneider has just three assists in his last 17 games, and his last goal came Dec. 27 against Washington, so offense hasn't been the young blueliner's calling card of late. Despite the modest production, the 22-year-old Schneider continues to fill an important role on the third pairing for the first-place Rangers by blocking shots and clearing the crease.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Picks up 10th assist
Rotowire
Schneider notched an assist, one shot on goal, one blocked shot and two hits in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Schneider got credit for his 10th assist of the season by helping get the puck to Artemi Panarin and watching the star winger do the heavy lifting from there to produce the game-tying goal in the third period. The 22-year-old blueliner also has three goals, so he's five points shy of matching last season's career-high 18. Schneider skated 19:41 in Monday's win and 20:54 in the previous contest as Jacob Trouba served a two-game suspension, but with Trouba expected back Wednesday against the Lightning, Schneider will likely revert closer to his season average of 15:04 TOI.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Gets credit for apple in win
Rotowire
Schneider logged an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.
Schneider technically gets credit for the assist since the defenseman was the first one to touch the puck on the possession, but this game-winning goal had more to do with Alexis Lafreniere lighting the lamp on his own rebound near the top of the crease. At any rate, Schneider is up to eight helpers among 11 total points to complement solid defensive totals (51 blocked shots and 53 hits) through 42 games. We're seeing steady improvement from the physical blueliner, who the Rangers selected No.19 overall in the 2020 Draft.

Rotowire
Schneider notched an assist versus the Stars on Monday.
Schenider has points in back-to-back games for the first time this season, giving him a combined five points in 16 contests on the year. The defender fell just two points shy of the 20-point threshold last season but should be capable of challenging for that mark in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Schneider scored a goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Oilers.
This was Schneider's first multi-point effort since Jan. 27. The defenseman had been held off the scoresheet in the first six games of this season before breaking out of the slump Thursday. He's added 12 hits, 11 blocked shots, eight shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while holding down a steady third-pairing role over Zac Jones.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Back with big club
Rotowire
Schneider was called up from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.
With K'Andre Miller suspended for three games due to a spitting incident versus the Kings, Schneider will be with the big club and should have a solid chance to play in each of those contests. The 21-year-old has 15 points through 59 contests this season.

Rotowire
Schneider was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Lights lamp in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Schneider scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over Montreal.
Schneider beat Jake Allen to the glove side in the second period, giving New York a 2-0 lead. The 21-year-old defenseman's fifth goal of the season turned into his first career game-winning goal when Montreal got one back in the third period. Schneider struggled early in the season when paired with either the defensively-challenged Zac Jones or the hockey-challenged Libor Hajek, but New York's third pairing has improved dramatically since Ben Harpur was brought up from the AHL. That improvement is reflected in Schneider's rating, which was even through Nov. 22 and now sits at plus-11.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Nets goal vs. Colorado
Rotowire
Schneider found the back of the net in Friday's 2-1 shootout win against Colorado.
Schneider has four goals and seven points in 29 games this season. He only recorded an assist in his first 16 contests, but Schneider's picked up the pace recently, contributing two goals and three points in his last five games. The 21-year-old entered Friday averaging just 15:03 of ice time though, and Schneider will have a hard time scoring with any real regularity unless his role increases.

Over the last two games, Schneider has scored both of his goals on the season.

Rotowire
Schneider scored a goal, logged four hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
Schneider sparked the Rangers' comeback with a goal in the second period, which was his first tally of the campaign. Two of his three points have come in the last four games. The 21-year-old defenseman is unlikely to see much more than a third-pairing role, where he's produced 28 hits, 30 blocked shots, 20 shots on net and five PIM through 20 contests this year.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Limited contributions early on
Rotowire
Schneider totaled two blocked shots, one hit and a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Schneider has yet to record a point through five games in 2022-23 after notching 11 in 43 appearances as a rookie last season. The 21-year-old blueliner plays more of a stay-at-home role on the third pairing for New York while fellow youngster Zac Jones joins the rush more frequently.
