Just like Semyon Varlamov, Cory Schneider is reuniting with an old mentor.

The New Jersey Devils named Roland Melanson their new goaltending coach Saturday, adding that Chris Terreri - who occupied the role for the past two seasons - will stay with the organization in a capacity that has yet to be determined.

Melanson spent six seasons as the Vancouver Canucks goalie coach beginning in 2010-11. Schneider played under his tutelage until the netminder was traded to the Devils in 2013.

New Jersey general manager Ray Shero thanked the Canucks and specifically Vancouver's president of hockey operations, Trevor Linden, for allowing Melanson to join the Devils.

The Colorado Avalanche hired Jussi Parkkila, who tutored Varlamov during the netminder's early days in the KHL, as their goalie coach Friday.
