Blomqvist turned aside 26 of 28 shots after replacing Tristan Jarry midway through the first period in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old entered the game with the Penguins down 3-1, and his strong performance wound up netting him his second win in three appearances this season. Blomqvist's 2.86 GAA and .913 save percentage are making a case for a bigger role in the Pittsburgh crease, and perhaps even the starting job given Jarry's atrocious 5.45 GAA and .833 save percentage -- at least until Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) gets healthy.
