In a historic performance, Alex Nedeljkovic became the first goalie in NHL history to score a goal and record an assist in the same game, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The Penguins snapped a three-game losing streak with this win, showcasing a balanced offensive attack with goals from Rickard Rakell, Anthony Beauvillier, Cody Glass, and Bryan Rust.

Buffalo's Owen Power and Zach Benson found the net, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Penguins' dominance. The Sabres fell to 6-14-4, marking their 18th loss in 24 games. Nedeljkovic's goal came when he sent the puck down the ice into an empty net, sealing the victory.
