Devils assign Schneider to AHL for conditioning loan

The New Jersey Devils should soon have their starting netminder back in the fold.

The team assigned Cory Schneider to the Binghamton Devils of the AHL for a conditioning loan on Tuesday, the team announced.

Schneider is expected to rejoin the #NJDevils on Wednesday in Florida to continue working under the observation of team training staff. https://t.co/Y07jUxnUXJ

Schneider has been out of the lineup since Jan. 23 with a groin injury.

The 31-year-old will play in a game against the Belleville Senators on Tuesday night, after which the club hopes he will be well enough to start either Thursday or Friday when the Devils play on back-to-back nights against the Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes.
