For the first time in five years, Cory Schneider is playing playoff hockey.
The New Jersey Devils netminder was thrust into action late in the second period Saturday after the Tampa Bay Lightning went up 5-1, chasing starter Keith Kinkaid.
Schneider made his last playoff appearance in 2013 in Games 3 and 4 of the Vancouver Canucks' opening-round series against the San Jose Sharks. Schneider lost both those games en route to a Sharks sweep.
The 32-year-old has seen limited action of late, having made just one start in the team's previous 10 games.
