New York Rangers: Ranking the NHL’s top ten goaltenders

8. Cory Schneider

Being the only constant for a consistently disappointing Devils team is tough. Cory Schneider makes it work though. Despite the wretched records the Hudson River rivals have put up in the past number of years, Schneider has set himself apart as an elite netminder with the Devils and with his home country of the United States on the international stage.

Sadly for Schneider, he is hanging out on the bottom of the list because he does play for the New Jersey Devils. On top of that, his small danger save percentage (LDSv%) is extremely below average. The mean number in that category is 98%. In what would seem to be not far off, Schneider has a 97.2%. However, this makes a big difference during a full NHL season. This means situations in which most times there wouldn’t be scoring, there is.

That one statistic could potentially make or break a team’s season. For the Devils, it’s been breaking.
