Makes 44 saves in win Nedeljkovic stopped 44 of 47 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Even in the second half of their back-to-back, the Blue Jackets found plenty of chances, but they couldn't keep pace with the Penguins' suddenly surging offense. Nedeljkovic did enough to get the job done, with the 44 saves marking a season high for the Ohio native. He's also undefeated in three outings where he's faced more than 40 shots this season. Overall, Nedeljkovic is up to 13-14-5 with a 3.16 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 34 outings. The Penguins have rolled with Tristan Jarry lately, but he and Nedeljkovic are both likely to struggle if they start either Sunday versus the Panthers or Tuesday versus the Lightning.

In goal Friday Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod at home against the Blue Jackets on Friday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic will be in the pipes for the first time since March 7, with Tristan Jarry having featured in five straight games for the Pens. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic is currently mired in a five-game losing streak, having gone 0-5-0 with a 4.43 GAA in his last six outings. Barring a strong performance by Nedeljkovic, the Penguins will likely turn back to Jarry for the bulk of the workload the rest of the way.

On wrong side of shutout Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 27 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Nedeljkovic took his fifth loss in a row, though this was one was due to a lack of goal support rather than just his own poor performance. The 29-year-old is down to 12-14-5 with a 3.17 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 33 outings this season. The Penguins' three-game road trip ends Sunday in Minnesota, which is still likely to be a challenging matchup for Nedeljkovic should he get the start.

Starting against Vegas Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic will look to end his four-game losing streak, a span in which he's made five appearances and allowed a total of 18 goals. The Golden Knights have won five of their last six games, and they've scored 23 goals in that span, so this is not a good matchup for fantasy managers to have Nedeljkovic active.

Keeps it close in loss Nedeljkovic stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Nedeljkovic put in a respectable performance, but Casey Mittelstadt's tie-breaking power-play goal with 4:09 left was the difference. It'll go down as a fourth straight loss for Nedeljkovic, who has given up 18 goals over five appearances in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is now 12-13-5 with a 3.14 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 32 contests. While he has the benefit of a high volume of playing time, Nedeljkovic is playing on a team heading in the wrong direction, so fantasy managers looking for wins should turn elsewhere. The Penguins' road trip continues Friday in Vegas.

Drawing road start Nedeljkovic is set to face the Avalanche on the road Tuesday, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Impact Nedeljkovic turned aside 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Bruins on Saturday. He'll face a tougher test Tuesday against an Avalanche team that sits ninth in the NHL with 3.23 goals per game this season. Nedeljkovic is 0-1-1 and has surrendered seven goals on 64 shots in two career appearances against Colorado.

Bounced by Boston Nedeljkovic stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins, with Boston's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Penguins dug an early 2-0 hole and didn't even get on the board until the third period, so while Nedeljkovic was able to keep his team in the game, the 29-year-old goalie still got saddled with his third straight losing decision. Over four appearances since play resumed following the 4 Nations Face-Off, Nedeljkovic has stumbled to a 5.34 GAA and .824 save percentage, which could open the door for Joel Blomqvist to get a longer look, or even for Tristan Jarry to return from the AHL.

Starting Saturday Nedeljkovic will defend the home crease versus Boston on Saturday, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Impact Nedeljkovic struggled in his last start, allowing three goals on only 15 shots and was pulled before the midway mark of the second period Thursday versus the Flyers. He is 12-11-5 with a 3.21 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 30 appearances this season. The Bruins are generating 2.73 goals per game, 25th in the NHL in 2024-25.

Pulled from Thursday's game Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 15 shots before being pulled in the second period of Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.

Impact The Penguins rallied back to secure the win Thursday, but the 29-year-old goaltender wasn't sharp and didn't even make it to the end of the second period. He's on a run of subpar performances of late, going 0-2-0 with an inflated 6.90 GAA and 53 saves across 67 shots faced over his last three appearances, which equals to a .791 save percentage.
