Sabres' Rodrigues snaps Bobrovsky's shutout streak with top-shelf snipe

Sergei Bobrovsky finally allowed a goal, and it came from a rather unlikely source.

Buffalo Sabres forward Evan Rodrigues beat the Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender with a beautiful shot early in Friday's game, opening the scoring and ending Bobrovsky's shutout streak at 182:50.

The Blue Jackets netminder posted three straight shutouts before allowing the goal less than three minutes into Friday's contest.

He fell about 17 minutes short of Columbus' franchise-best shutout streak of 199:28, accomplished by Steve Mason in 2008-09, according to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch.

It was Rodrigues' third goal in his 16th game of the season. The undrafted 23-year-old has spent most of the last two campaigns in the AHL, appearing in his first two NHL contests in 2015-16.
