Cory Schneider has Grade 1 sprain in right knee, John Hynes says

NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Devils All-Star goaltender Cory Schneider will be sidelined at least two weeks with a sprained right knee.

Schneider has a Grade 1 sprain and will be evaluated again in two weeks, coach John Hynes said doctors told him after the Devils' 6-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.

Schneider was hurt Friday night in the third period against Dallas. He has posted a 26-23-6 record with four shutouts and a .923 save percentage.

Keith Kincaid made 24 saves for New Jersey on Sunday. Yann Danis was recalled from Albany of the AHL to serve as his backup.
