Nedeljkovic Makes NHL History in Penguins Victory

Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Alex Nedeljkovic made NHL history by becoming the first goaltender to score a goal and record an assist in the same game, during a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. He scored an empty-net goal with under three minutes remaining, marking his first NHL goal and making him the 16th goalie in NHL history to achieve this feat. Nedeljkovic also provided an assist on Cody Glass's power-play goal in the second period and made 40 saves throughout the game. His achievement comes shortly after the Penguins ended a three-game losing streak and former Penguins starter Tristan Jarry was sent to the AHL. The win positioned Pittsburgh three points behind Boston for the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. Additionally, Nedeljkovic's performance highlights his unique record of scoring in the NHL, AHL, and ECHL.
