Pittsburgh earns a much-needed win on a historic night from their goaltender, who registers a goal and an assist
Nedeljkovic became the first goalie in NHL history to have a goal and an assist in a game during the Pittsburgh Penguins' 5-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres.
BUFFALO -- Alex Nedeljkovic had a goal and an assist and made 40 saves for the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 5-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center on Friday.
Alex Nedeljkovic left his crease as soon as the Pittsburgh Penguins goalie saw one of the Sabres send the puck behind his net late in the third period Friday night.
Alex Nedeljkovic may not have gotten a Gordie Howe hat trick on Friday in Buffalo, just missing the fight portion. But his unique accomplishment that night should perhaps be named after him moving forward.
