In what’s proving to be the most unpredictable of seasons, to say our Penguins have had a way of fooling me is an understatement too massive to properly describe. Waddling headlong into daunting a seven-game road trip on the heels of an ugly 1-3-1 home stand, I thought for sure the bottom would fall out on our flightless waterfowl.
While it still may, for one game anyway our imminent collapse was delayed, due in no small part to a superb effort between the pipes by Alex Nedeljkovic.
In what can accurately be described as a record-setting performance, Ned turned aside 40 shots and tallied a goalie goal and an assist to pace the Pens to a 5-2 victory over the Sabres last night at KeyBank Center.
