He also had scored a goal in the ECHL and the American Hockey League.
Days after the Penguins waived Tristan Jarry, Nedeljkovic made 40 saves in the 5-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres. He assisted on Cody Glass’ goal that made it 3-1. Then with 2:42 left in regulation, he flipped the puck from behind his own goal, down the ice and into the Sabres’ empty net.
It marked the second goal by a Penguins netminder after Jarry scored on Nov. 30, 2023.
Rickard Rakell, Glass and Bryan Rust scored on the power play for the Penguins, who tallied three times in the second period to erase a 1-0 deficit. Anthony Beauvillier also scored, Glass and Rust each had an assist and Matt Grzelcyk had two assists as Pittsburgh ended a three-game skid.
