A certain New Jersey Devils goaltender finally got off the schneid.

Cory Schneider picked up his first regular-season victory since Dec. 27, 2017 as the Devils stormed back to defeat the Minnesota Wild 5-4 in overtime Friday night.

Schneider came on in relief of Keith Kinkaid with New Jersey trailing 4-1, but the Devils then erupted for four unanswered goals, including Nico Hischier's overtime winner with less than two minutes remaining in the extra frame.

He did win a playoff game during the skid, helping New Jersey capture Game 3 of the first-round series it ultimately lost in five contests to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
