Rangers' Braden Schneider: Agrees to extension
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.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Hands out helper Sunday
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. The 22-year-old blueliner has been a fixture on the Rangers' third pairing, adding 28 hits, 27 blocks, 12 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 13 playoff appearances.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Logs assist in Game 4
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
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: Dishes out eight hits
Schneider delivered eight hits while recording an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.
Schneider set a new season high with his eight hits while also picking up his 17th point of the year. The blueliner will have 12 games left to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time in his three-year NHL career.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Continues to focus on defense
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
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
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.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Grabs second goal in win
Schneider scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over Toronto.
Schneider flashed some skill to put the Rangers ahead 3-2 midway through the third period, skating around a Leafs' defender before lifting a shot over the pad of Martin Jones for his second goal of the season and the eventual game-winner in the 5-2 win. The 22-year-old Schneider now has two points (a goal and an assist) in his last three games after going scoreless in his previous eight contests. He's up to eight points (two goals, six assists) through 30 games this year with 43 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-2 rating.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Garners assist Monday
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.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Collects two points in win
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: Ends nine-game point slump
Schneider tallied a goal in the Rangers' 5-2 win over the Devils in Game 6 on Saturday.
Schneider found the back of the net midway through the third period to extend New York's lead to 5-1. It was his first point in nine outings and first goal in 46. Schneider is serving on the third pairing and shouldn't be expected to make regular offensive contributions. However, the 21-year-old has been a factor in hits and blocks, with 15 and nine, respectively, in six playoff appearances this year.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Stuck on five goals
Schneider had two shots, two blocked shots, three hits and a minus-1 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Schneider's doing what's asked of him in a third-pairing role, but that usage doesn't include much offense, as he's been sitting on five goals since Jan. 5. Perhaps the well-rounded 21-year-old will eventually take on more responsibilities in the offensive zone, but for now, Schneider's happy to defer to Adam Fox, Jacob Trouba and K'Andre Miller when it comes to creating offense from the blue line.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Notches helper in Philly
Schneider had an assist, two blocked shots and four hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.
Back with the big club after spending a game glued to the bench and being sent down to the AHL in a paper move to create cap space for the Patrick Kane trade, Schneider returned to a prominent role. The Rangers dressed only five defensemen, and Schneider's 23:37 TOI was second-most among the depleted group. His assist on Vladimir Tarasenko's overtime winner was Schneider's 16th point of the season.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Back with big club
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.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Dropped to AHL
Schneider was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
Schneider did not take a shift in Sunday's game against the Kings and will now head to the minors in a cap-related paper move. The 21-year-old blueliner will likely be recalled before Wednesday's tilt with the Flyers.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Registers two assists Friday
Schneider recorded two assists in a 4-1 win against Vegas on Friday.
Schneider's helpers were both recorded in the third period. He's up to five goals and 13 points in 49 contests in 2022-23. The 21-year-old was held off the scoresheet in seven of his previous eight games.

Rangers' Braden Schneider: Lights lamp in Thursday's win
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.
