Watch: Penguins honor ‘Mr. Game 1’ Jeff Zatkoff during return with Kings

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.
