Devils, Islanders, put out red-taped sticks for Schneider's nephew

The New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders placed red taped hockey sticks outside their locker rooms as a tribute to Theodore Hedstrom, the 14-year-old hockey player who died tragically in a house fire last week.

Hedstrom was the nephew of Islanders goalie and former Devils goalie Cory Schneider. Schneider is currently on personal leave from the Islanders.
