Schneider allowed four goals on 40 shots in the Devils’ loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Schneider has lost his last two starts while allowing a combined six goals on 63 shots (.905 SV%).

Coreau was sent down for the Red Wings’ bye week and has been recalled because Jimmy Howard is not quite ready to resume playing. Look for Coreau to backup Petr Mrazek as the Red Wings start their road trip in Vancouver on Tuesday.
Miller has been with Grand Rapids for one month and recorded two goals and one assist (three points) in seven games. The Red Wings traded Tomas Jurco during their bye week, so Miller has been called-up to take the final roster spot. He had five goals and one assist (six points) in 35 games with the Red Wings.
Parenteau left Saturday’s game after blocking a shot and will not be available for tonight’s game with the Canadiens. Blake Coleman has been called up and will take his spot in the lineup.
Coleman, 25, was a third round pick in 2011 (No.75 overall) and has one assist in five games with the Devils this season. He has spent the majority of the year in Albany, where he has 18 goals and 16 assists (34 points) in 49 games. Coleman will replace P.A. Parenteau in the lineup on Monday.
Zacha will miss his second straight game with a concussion and was moved to IR on Monday to create a roster spot to call-up Blake Coleman from Albany (AHL). There’s no word when Zacha will be available to re-join the lineup.
Erne, 21, has collected 14 goals and 13 assists (27 points) in 39 games with Syracuse this season. He has no points in four NHL games this season and there’s no word whether he will be in the lineup on Monday.
Gourde, 25, has registered 20 goals and 23 assists (43 points) in 53 games with Syracuse this season—that ranks third on the team. There is no word whether or not he will be in the lineup on Monday. The Quebec native has failed to record a point in two NHL games this season.
Downing, 24, was an unrestricted free agent, who has collected seven goals and 15 assists (22 points) in 47 games with Iowa (AHL) this season. Downing will report to Tucson.

Hanzal is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and the Wild have added him in an attempt to go for it all this spring. Hanzal, who has 16 goals and 10 assists (26 points) in 51 games this season, joins a deep group of forwards in Minnesota. He should make his Wild debut on Monday and could skate on a line with Zach Parise.
Cernak, 19, was a second round pick (No. 43 overall) in 2015 and has scored three goals with 14 assists (17 points) in 41 games with the Erie Otters (OHL) this season.
With Jonathan Quick missing the first four and a half months with a groin injury, Budaj filled in admirably as the Kings’ No.1. The veteran netminder went 27-20-3 with a 2.12 GAA and .917 SV% in 53 games while Quick was out, but heads to Tampa Bay where he will fight with Andrei Vasilevskiy for playing time in the Lightning’s crease.
Bishop will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, so the Lightning moved him despite being in playoff contention. Bishop has had a bit of a down year, going 16-12-3 with a 2.55 GAA and .911 SV% in 32 games and heads to Los Angeles where he will likely split time with Jonathan Quick. Andrei Vasilevskiy takes over as the Lightning’s No.1 netminder following the trade.
