Schneider placed on Injured Reserve by Devils

New Jersey Devils goaltender Cory Schneider was placed on injured reserve Friday because of a lower-body injury.

Schneider was injured in the Devils' 5-4 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday and was replaced by Keith Kinkaid to start the third period. 

Schneider is 4-1-0 with a 3.30 goals-against average and .907 save percentage.

The move was made retroactive to Oct. 19, and Schneider will be eligible to play against the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 27 when the Devils return from a six-day break. 

New Jersey recalled goaltender Scott Wedgewood from Binghamton of the American Hockey League under emergency conditions to back up Kinkaid.

The Devils play the San Jose Sharks at Prudential Center on Friday (7 p.m. ET; MSG+, NBCSCA, NHL.TV).
