What a night for Alex Nedeljkovic! 🔥
Not only did he make 40 saves in a stellar performance, but he also became the first goalie in NHL history to record both a goal and an assist in a single game! 🤯
Here’s how it all went down:
The Goal: With just 2:42 left in the third period, Nedeljkovic picked up the puck behind his own net, turned, and fired it the entire length of the ice into an empty net. The precision, the confidence—absolutely legendary! 🥅🚨
The Assist: Earlier in the game, he set up Cody Glass for a crucial goal that extended the Penguins’ lead. A playmaker and a scorer—what can’t this guy do? 🎯
The Stats: 40 saves on 42 shots for a jaw-dropping .952 save percentage. Talk about clutch! 🧱
This milestone cements Nedeljkovic as one of the most versatile and skilled goaltenders ever to grace the NHL ice. He’s also now part of an elite group of just 16 goalies to score in NHL history and remains the only one to achieve this feat across the NHL, AHL, and ECHL. 🌟
Penguins fans will never forget this night, while Sabres fans might want to—Buffalo fell 5-2 in a game that showcased Nedeljkovic’s brilliance.
