Devils activate Schneider from injured reserve

Cory Schneider was activated off injured reserve Wednesday, and though the New Jersey Devils goalie doesn't know when he'll start, he expects to man the crease during the team's Florida road trip.

"I'm going on the trip, so I'm assuming they wouldn't take me unless I was going to be good to go," Schneider told The Record's Tom Gulitti. "Whether I play tomorrow or Saturday (at Tampa Bay) we still haven't determined, but I believe I should be available for both games."

In a corresponding move, the team assigned goaltender Scott Wedgewood to the Albany Devils of the American Hockey League. Wedgewood fared extremely well in his first taste of the NHL.

The 23-year-old went 2-1-1 in four games with a 1.25 goals-against average and a .957 save percentage.
