Devils' Eddie Lack: Surgery ends season

Devils' Eddie Lack: Sent out for conditioning assignment
Eddie Lack was reassigned to AHL Binghamton on Monday for a conditioning stint.With no back-to-backs on the schedule, the New Jersey Devils let Keith Kinkaid carry the load to start the season, which means Lack hasn't played in a game since the preseason. The netminder was flipped for Cory Schneider (hip) -- who was recalled from a conditioning assignment of his own -- which could mean Lack's trip down is an audition for a potential trade partner.

Devils' Eddie Lack: Makes 35 saves in OT loss
Eddie Lack stopped 35 of 39 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers in preseason action.The 30-year-old played in only eight NHL games last year, but Lack could see a lot more action with the New Jersey Devils in 2018-19 if Cory Schneider's hip issues linger into the regular season. Even if Lack is needed on the big club, however, he'll still start out as the No. 2 netminder behind Keith Kincaid.

Devils' Eddie Lack: Slated to start Monday
Eddie Lack is expected to start Monday's preseason tilt against the Rangers, per Amanda Stein of the New Jersey Devils' official site.Prior to the start of training camp, Lack seemed destined for AHL Binghamton as the organization's third netminder; however, with Cory Schneider (hip) still sidelined, the 30-year-old Lack could start the season as the No. 2 behind Keith Kinkaid. Once Schneider is healthy, Lack will likely be sent back to the minors.

Devils' Eddie Lack: Inks one-year contract extension
Eddie Lack secured a one-year, one-way contract extension with the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.Signing this deal should be a boon to Lack's confidence. Between 2013-15, he posted a serviceable 34-30-9 record, 2.43 GAA and .917 save percentage with Vancouver to get his career started, but the goalie flopped in subsequent tours with Carolina and Calgary. While the Flames sent Lack to New Jersey in a 1-for-1 swap for defenseman Dalton Prout last December, the 30-year-old likely needs a perfect storm for fantasy owners to trust him again. As it stands now, he's probably third on the organizational depth chart behind Cory Schneider and Keith Kinkaid.

Devils' Eddie Lack: Added to NHL roster
Eddie Lack was called up from AHL Binghamton on Saturday.This gives the New Jersey Devils three goalies on the active roster for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Capitals. However, Cory Schneider reportedly will draw the start with Keith Kinkaid in the fold as well. Lack's been a goalie to avoid in the fantasy realm since he's posted a cumulative 4.02 GAA and .870 percentage in five games and eight starts between the Flames and Devils this season.

Devils' Eddie Lack: Returned to AHL
Eddie Lack was demoted back to AHL Binghamton on Thursday.Lack's reassignment comes as a result of Cory Schneider (groin) rejoining the fold for the New Jersey Devils and retaking his place between the pipes Thursday. The 30-year-old Swede initially landed with New Jersey's AHL club after he was dealt to the Devils in late December, posting an impressive 2.14 GAA and .915 save percentage over five appearances in the minors before being recalled. Lack will once again serve as organizational depth, but he could be recalled if either of the Devils' netminders becomes unavailable.
