Penguins Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic Makes NHL History with Goal and Assist

Nedeljkovic becomes the first goalie in NHL history to score a goal and record an assist in the same game during Pittsburgh's 5-2 win over Buffalo.

Alex Nedeljkovic scored an empty-net goal from 180 feet and assisted on a second-period goal, marking the first time an NHL goalie has achieved both feats in a single game.
The Penguins' 5-2 victory over the Sabres ended a three-game losing streak and brought them closer to a playoff position in the Eastern Conference standings.
Nedeljkovic also made 40 saves in the game, solidifying his role as Pittsburgh's starting goalie after Tristan Jarry was sent to the AHL earlier this week.
The goal was the 19th by a goalie in NHL history, and Nedeljkovic became the 16th netminder to achieve the rare feat, as well as the second in Penguins franchise history.
Nedeljkovic is now the only goalie to score at all three professional levels—NHL, AHL, and ECHL—highlighting his puck-handling skills developed from early guidance by his father.
