Maple Leafs make 4-player swap with AHL’s Marlies

The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a trade - with their American Hockey League affiliate.

The team assigned forwards Connor Brown and Zach Hyman as well as defensemen Rinat Valiev and Connor Carrick to the Toronto Marlies. In return, the Leafs recalled forwards Kasperi Kapanen and Tobias Lindberg as well as defensemen T.J. Brennan and Andrew Campbell.

Kapanen and Brennan will get their second chances with the team after both suited up in games earlier in the month. Brennan currently sits second in the AHL with 67 points in 67 games.

Meanwhile, Lindberg could be the latest Maple Leaf to make his NHL debut this season. Campbell is expected to make his first NHL appearance in almost a year when the Leafs takes on the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday.

Brown, Hyman, Valiev, and Carrick rejoin a Marlies team that sits atop the AHL standings with a record of 48-15-5, 11 points ahead of the next best club.

Devils’ Schneider heading to AHL for conditioning stint

Cory Schneider is gearing up for brief stay in Albany.

The New Jersey Devils goalie has been placed on injured reserve retroactive to March 4 after suffering a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee, the team announced Sunday.

Schneider has been assigned to the club's AHL affiliate on a conditioning stint and will practice with Albany on Monday. He will then return to New Jersey for Tuesday's practice in advance of their game that night against Boston.

There's no official word yet on whether he will suit up for that game.

Schneider posted a record of 26-23-6 with a .923 save percentage prior to the injury.
