Jeff Zatkoff will always be remembered in Pittsburgh as the goalie who earned the Penguins their first playoff win en route to a Stanley Cup in 2016.

Zatkoff backstopped the Penguins to a 5-2 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the opening round last spring.

Now a member of the Los Angeles Kings, Zatkoff was honored with a video by the Penguins during the first period of Friday's game.

He then raised a stick to the crowd from the bench, where he was serving as backup to Peter Budaj.
