Alex Nedeljkovic News

As expected, Nedeljkovic will be between the pipes for the Penguins as they travel to Chicago on Thursday to play their second game in as many nights. Nedeljkovic's last start came on February 9th in Minnesota, when he allowed three goals on 30 shots enroute to a 3-2 defeat. Nedeljkovic has performed well when called upon this season, posting an 8-4-3 record to go along with an impressive .917 SV%. He and the Penguins are -190 favourites to pick up the win in Chicago on Thursday.

Nedeljkovic will start his first game since the All-Star break on Friday evening when the Penguins visit the Minnesota Wild. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has only played once in the last seven games for the Penguins but was excellent, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers. Nedeljkovic was victorious against Minnesota on December 16th, saving 24 of 27 shots (.889 SV%) in a 4-3 win.

After taking the reigns on the Penguins' crease for most of December, Nedeljkovic will start on Friday for the first time in six games. Nedeljkovic has been serviceable this season, posting a 2.66 GAA and .916 SV% in 15 games (8-3-2), but allowed three goals on nine shots (.667 SV%) before being pulled in his last outing, a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on January 11th. The Penguins are +116 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers club that has outscored their opposition 10-3 in their last two games (2-0-0).

Due to some strong play, Nedeljkovic has become a fixture in the Penguins' crease over the last month and will start for the fourth time in the last six games on Thursday. Nedeljkovic allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%), a 6-5 victory over the Boston Bruins on January 4th, but has been nearly unbeatable otherwise, allowing only one goal in three of his last four starts, posting a .933 SV%. The Penguins are -126 home favourites against the Vancouver Canucks, who are riding a three-game winning streak, outscoring their opposition 17-9.

Nedeljkovic will start for the third time in the last five games for the Penguins on Monday night. Despite a poor showing in his last appearance, allowing five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) in a 6-5 victory over the Boston Bruins, the Penguins coaching staff has been confident rolling with Nedeljkovic over the last month. Over his last five games (3-1-1), Nedeljkovic has allowed only one goal three times, posting a .902 SV%. The Penguins are -123 home favourites against the Philadelphia Flyers, whom they went 0-0-2 against last month.

Nedeljkovic has been terrific when called upon this season and will start for the second time in the last three games on Thursday when the Penguins visit the Boston Bruins. Nedeljkovic entered Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals in relief, saving 14 of 15 shots (.933 SV%), and has only allowed two goals on the last 53 shots he's faced (.962 SV%). The Penguins, winners of three of their last four (3-1-0), are +132 road underdogs against a Bruins squad that has won four straight.

Tristan Jarry has been solid most of the season but has taken a back seat lately to Nedeljkovic, who will start for the third time in the last four games. Nedeljkovic has won each of his last two starts, saving 63 of 69 shots (.913 SV%). In his first season with the Penguins, Nedeljkovic is sporting an impressive 2.58 GAA and .925 SV% through eight games (4-2-1). The Penguins are +119 home underdogs on Thursday against a Carolina Hurricanes team that is coming off a convincing 6-3 win against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Nedeljkovic will start on Monday after allowing three goals in relief of Tristan Jarry on 21 shots (.857 SV%) in Saturday's 7-0 blowout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Discounting Saturday's relief appearance, Nedeljkovic has been tremendous when called upon lately, posting an excellent .946 SV% in his last four outings (2-1-1). The Penguins are -120 home favourites on Monday as they will be desperate to rebound against a Minnesota Wild team that has won three straight games but is averaging only 1.8 goals per game over their last five contests (3-2-0).

Nedeljkovic will get his first start in four games as the Penguins head to Montreal to take on the Canadiens Wednesday. The 27-year-old has had a resurgent and impressive season as Tristan Jarry's backup, with his 2-2-1 record, 2.18 GAA and .937 SV%. He will face Montreal on the road, who have lost two of their last three games and are struggling offensively ranking 27th in both shots per game (28.7) and goals per game (2.61).

Nedeljkovic will start for the first time since November 24th and has been terrific when called upon this season, especially since returning from a 10-game absence due to a lower-body injury two weeks ago. In his last two games (1-1-0), Nedeljkovic has saved 69 of 72 shots (.958 SV%) and has one shutout. The Penguins have struggled lately, losing six of their last nine (3-4-2), but will hope to get back on track as they are -113 road favourites in a rematch of Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Nedeljkovic was heroic in his last contest on Sunday, posting a 38-save shutout in a 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Sunday's contest marked Nedeljkovic's first game in over three weeks while he was on the injured reserve with a lower-body injury. If Nedeljkovic can put together some consistent performances, he could see more action between the pipes, as Tristan Jarry has been a workhorse thus far for the Penguins. Nedelkjovic and the Penguins are -114 road favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that was shut out 4-0 by the Penguins on November 11th.

Nedeljkovic has not played since October 24th, a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, where he allowed four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%). Nedeljkovic has been on the injured reserve since then with a lower-body injury and, as he approaches his return, will join the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL for a conditioning stint. When Nedeljkovic is deemed ready to return, Magnus Hellberg will likely be sent back down to the AHL.

Nedeljkovic suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's matchup against the Dallas Stars but was able to finish the game. However, he was unable to complete practice with the Penguins on Wednesday and was later placed on the injured reserve late in the afternoon. Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Stars.
