Cory Schneider made 30 saves in posting his first shutout since November 2017 and Devils beat the undermanned Senators 4-0 on Thursday night at Prudential Center in Newark in a game in which both teams gave indications they were getting ready to make trades before Monday’s deadline.
“It’s never easy,” Schneider said of the trading deadline. “You get to know these guys well and their families and, again, they’re not gone right just yet so you have to wait and see what happens but just like we did tonight you have to be ready to play and move forward.
