John Tortorella and Boko Imama had a different opinion regarding a questionable hit in the Penguins' 5-4 overtime victory.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic has a pretty predictable pattern. In the event of a loss, he blames himself. In the event of a win, he credits his teammates. That approach has made him one of the most popular individuals in the team’s dressing room.
Benching Nedeljkovic turned out to be a great decision for Sullivan, who watched his club storm back and tie the game at 4–4 early in the third period. The Penguins went on to win 5–4 in overtime on Evgeni Malkin's 11th goal of the year.
