In a historic performance, Alex Nedeljkovic of the Pittsburgh Penguins became the first goalie in NHL history to record a goal and an assist in a single game, leading his team to a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night. Nedeljkovic made 40 saves and contributed to the Penguins' scoring by assisting Cody Glass and scoring an empty-net goal.

The Penguins ended a three-game losing streak, with Rickard Rakell, Anthony Beauvillier, Bryan Rust, and Cody Glass also finding the net. The loss marked Buffalo's 18th defeat in 24 games, and they struggled on special teams, managing only one successful penalty kill out of four opportunities.
