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 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.
