Lack announced via his personal twitter account Wednesday that he is retiring from hockey, and will become the goaltending coach at Arizona State University.

EDGE Analysis

Before hip surgery forced Lack to be sidelined for the remainder of 2018-19, he posted a 2-3-0 record along with a 4.10 GAA and .863 save percentage over six appearances with AHL Binghamton. The 31-year-old Swede enjoyed a five-year career in the NHL, highlighted by stops in Carolina, Vancouver, Calgary and New Jersey. He will now step into the coaching ranks for a Sun Devil team that made it's first program appearance in the NCAA tournament last season.

Lack recently underwent successful hip surgery and will be out for the remainder of 2018-19.

EDGE Analysis

Before going down with a season-ending hip injury, Lack posted a 2-3-0 record along with a 4.10 GAA and .863 save percentage over six appearances with AHL Binghamton. A free agent at season's end, there's no guarantee the 30-year-old Swede finds an NHL job beyond 2018-19.

Lack was placed on waivers by the Devils on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move was a long time coming with Cory Schneider healthy, though the club put off the transaction by sending Lack out on a conditioning assignment. If the Swede clears, which is by no means guaranteed, he will remain with AHL Binghamton.

Lack was reassigned to AHL Binghamton on Monday for a conditioning stint.

EDGE Analysis

With no back-to-backs on the schedule, the 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.

Lack is expected to start Monday's preseason tilt against the Rangers, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Lack will be between the pipes versus the Canadiens for Monday's preseason matchup, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Concerns over Cory Schneider's (hip) health for the start of the 2018-19 campaign could see Lack take on a bigger role than originally envisioned -- although once Schneider is cleared to play, Lack will likely find himself headed for the minors.

Lack secured a one-year, one-way contract extension with the Devils on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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 he flopped in subsequent tours with Carolina and Calgary. The Flames sent Lack to New Jersey in a 1-for-1 swap for defenseman Dalton Prout last December, but 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.

Lack was called up from AHL Binghamton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This gives the 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.

Lack was demoted back to AHL Binghamton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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

Lack stopped 21 of 24 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Lack's allowed 10 goals over his last three appearances while failing to hold any opponent over that span below three. New Jersey dropped this one despite holding a 40-25 edge in shots, as goaltending continues to be a problem for the team in Cory Schneider's (groin) absence.
