Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen wasn't able to bail out the Sabres when they began to make mistakes in the second period. Their starting goalie was outplayed by Penguins backup Alex Nedeljkovic, as Pittsburgh scored four consecutive goals and held on for a 5-2 win in KeyBank Center.

Not only did Nedeljkovic become the first goalie in NHL history to have a goal and an assist in the same game, but he also made 40 saves to lead the Penguins to a 5-2 win over the Sabres.
