Sharks goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic showed off his fighting skills against the Panthers.
The San Jose Sharks picked up a big 4-1 win against the Florida Panthers on Monday. With this, the Sharks have improved to a 25-20-3 record and are now third in the Pacific Division standings.
The Sharks' victory against the two-time reigning Stanley Cup champions also featured a goalie fight.
Sharks goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic and Panthers netminder Sergei Bobrovsky dropped the gloves, much to the excitement of the fans in attendance.
With 14 minutes left in the third period, the Sharks and Panthers players got into a scrum after the whistle behind San Jose's net. This led to Bobrovsky charging down the ice and going after Nedeljkovic. From there, the two goaltenders had their fight.
Goalie fights don't happen too often, but when they do, they are always a treat for fans. Nedeljkovic ended up having the upperhand in the scrap, too, as he landed the takedown on Bobrovsky.
Besides having a good fight, Nedeljkovic also had a strong game between the pipes for the Sharks. He stopped 35 out of 36 Panthers shots he faced, which equates to a .972 save percentage. With this, there is no question that he had a great performance for the Sharks in this one.
