Cory Schneider is gearing up for a 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.
