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.

Drouin to ‘be held out’ of AHL game after missing team meeting

Jonathan Drouin has six points in six games since returning to the Tampa Bay Lightning's AHL affiliate earlier in March, but the 20-year-old finds himself sidelined by team discipline once again after missing a team meeting.

The Syracuse Crunch will keep Drouin out of the lineup Wednesday against the Utica Comets after the forward missed a pre-practice meeting Tuesday due to an alarm clock issue.

Lightning assistant general manager Julien Brisebois said Drouin will sit out just one game, and this incident won't change how the organization feels about him.
