Alex Nedeljkovic achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming the first goalie in NHL history to record both a goal and an assist in a single game, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. Nedeljkovic made an impressive 40 saves during the match, helping the Penguins break a three-game losing streak. Rickard Rakell, Anthony Beauvillier, Cody Glass, and Bryan Rust also contributed to the scoreline for Pittsburgh.

Owen Power and Zach Benson found the net for Buffalo, while Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen faced 14 shots in goal. This loss marked the Sabres' 18th defeat in 24 games, leaving them struggling with a 6-14-4 record. The Penguins took control of the game after Power’s first-period power-play goal, responding with three quick goals early in the second period.
