Cory Schneider is ready for his NHL return.

The Devils recalled the goalie from Binghamton in the AHL, where he played three games last week on a conditioning stint.

Goalie Eddie Lack, who has backed up Keith Kinkaid in all eight NHL games this season, was sent to Binghamton on his own conditioning assignment. The means Schneider will travel with the team to Tampa and dress in some capacity for Tuesday's game against the Lightning.

Schneider will not start Tuesday's game, but he will play at some point over the course of the team's upcoming seven-game road trip.

Several injured Devils also returned to practice on Monday at Prudential Center in Newark prior to the team's trip to Tampa.

Marcus Johansson, who missed Friday's practice and Saturday's 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers due to illness, returned to the ice.

Forward Drew Stafford and defenseman Ben Lovejoy, who are both on injured reserve, both returned to the ice with teammates for the first time since their respective injuries.

Stafford suffered an upper body injury in the Devils' 5-2 loss to the Flyers on Oct. 20, while Lovejoy exited the Devils' 5-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Oct. 28 with a lower body injury.

Lovejoy will travel with the Devils to Tampa, while Stafford could join the team during the trip

Jesper Bratt did not practice on Monday. He is still skating on his own while recovering from a broken jaw.

However, Bratt will travel with the team to participate in some optional skates and join team meetings before he is cleared for full contact. Devils coach John Hynes said Bratt is in a two-week window where he should be cleared to play.
