Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Alex Nedeljkovic had himself a night to forget Thursday at PPG Paints Arena. Losers of five of their last six games entering the matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Penguins needed Nedeljkovic to step up between the pipes and halt their skid.

Thursday's game did not start off much better as they allowed the first three goals of the game. After the third goal, the Penguins made the decision to bench Alex Nedeljkovic, replacing him with rookie Joel Blomqvist. That did not sit well with the veteran Nedeljkovic.

With Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark being under the weather, Philadelphia Flyers netminder Samuel Ersson started for Team Sweden on Feb. 17 against Team USA.
