[MMC]

Believe this is also the first season with 2 goalie goals?

Has a goalie ever had a goal and an assist in the same game? That's got to be a first.

Nope this is indeed the first time a goalie has a goal and assist in the same game.

 

[Hennessy]

Goddamn. Sabres just can't catch a break. The universe absolutely despises them.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

That's also the 4th professional goal for Ned, and he's now scored one in the ECHL, AHL, and NHL.

Goal and an assist, wow

 

[metalan2]

Ned has a goal in the echl, two AHL goals, and an NHL goal.

He also had an assist tonight making him the first goalie ever to score a goal and have an assist in the same game.

Two points for Ned.

 

[gilfaizon]

Pivotal game for the Pens and they delivered 2 points. A short breath for Dubas

Goalie goal and lamar jackson coming to town. Not a good weekend for buffalo

 

[Coffee]

Amazing

 

[Bruce Granville]

I‘m disappointed…
Why didn‘t he fight in the last 3 minutes for a Gordie Howe hattrick?
Such a missed opportunity. Smh.

Nice link.

Brodeur leading the all time table with (3), Hextall second with (2) and then there's everyone else

Such a missed opportunity. Smh.

Because no one on the Sabres cares enough to fight.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

What happens first- a goalie scoring 2 goals in a game or a goalie getting a Gordie Howe hat trick?

 

[Reality Check]

I'm confident Tristan Jarry could score a hat trick against Buffalo.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Didnt realize he got an assist.

How many goalies have had 2pt games?

Barrasso (oooh, Sabres connection)had one in 1999.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

 

[BHD]

See, Frank. This is why they waived Jarry.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I like that the ref immediately snagged it for him

 

[tarheelhockey]

Of all goalies I’m glad it was Ned. He’s really battled to be in the NHL and seems like a good guy off the ice.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Nope this is indeed the first time a goalie has a goal and assist in the same game.

Man I guess I'm naive, but I also read he is the 16th goalie to score a goal in the NHL.

Considering how long the NHL has been around, I found that surprising.

Really cool and surprising stats getting posted here!

 

[Mattilaus]

There should be an asterisk beside any accomplishment that is achieved whilst playing against the Sabres. You know, just to make sure everyone knows it didn't happen during a game against an NHL team.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Nedjelkovic had arguably the best performance of any Penguins player this year with his performance tonight.

A goal, assist and 40 saves on 42 shots may be the single best performance of any Penguins player in the past few years.

 

[Doctor No]

How many goalies have had 2pt games?

Jeff Reese had a three-assist game for the Flames.
