ALEX NEDELJKOVIC NEWS

Hangs on for shootout win Nedeljkovic turned aside 26 shots in regulation and overtime and three of five shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Penguins held a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but as has been the case too often this season the defense couldn't stop the opposition from mounting a comeback, and Nedeljkovic needed to come up big just to get the game to OT. It's his first win since Nov. 2, and on the season he's gone 3-3-3 over 10 appearances with a 3.17 GAA and .886 save percentage. Nedeljkovic will likely remain in a timeshare with Tristan Jarry unless one of them heats up and pushes their way into the No. 1 job.

Guarding goal Saturday Nedeljkovic will protect the home net against San Jose on Saturday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Impact Nedeljkovic will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Friday's 6-2 loss to Columbus. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 2-3-3 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .884 save percentage through nine appearances this season. San Jose ranks 31st in the league with 2.33 goals per game in 2024-25.

Falls to Wings in OT Nedeljkovic stopped 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Both Detroit goals came less than five minutes apart early in the second period, but the 28-year-old netminder kept his focus and earned the Penguins a point before finally giving up the winner in OT to Simon Edvinsson. Nedeljkovic hasn't recorded a win in four straight appearances, and on the season he sports a 2-3-3 record in nine outings with a 3.22 GAA and .884 save percentage. Even with Tristan Jarry back in the NHL, Nedeljkovic still seems to have a tenuous hold on the No. 1 job in net for Pittsburgh.

Set to start Wednesday Nedeljkovic is expected to start at home against Detroit on Wednesday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Impact Nedeljkovic has a 2-3-2 record, 3.25 GAA and .882 save percentage in eight appearances in 2024-25. He's struggled recently, allowing 12 goals on 76 shots (.842 save percentage) across his past three outings. Detroit has its own problems, though. The Red Wings rank 30th offensively with 2.43 goals per game.

Needed in relief against Dallas Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 32 shots after replacing Joel Blomqvist midway through the first period of Monday's 7-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact The Penguins were never in the game, coughing up six goals in the first period alone, and the switch to Nedeljkovic did nothing to wake them up. The 28-year-old netminder has given up 12 goals in his last three appearances, stumbling to a 4.12 GAA and .842 save percentage over that stretch, and while Pittsburgh's leaky blue line bears a lot of responsibility for that, Nedeljkovic's spot at the top of the depth chart seems shaky at best, especially with Tristan Jarry back in the NHL.

Rough night in Carolina Nedeljkovic made 13 saves in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The Penguins out-shot the opposition 36-18 on the night, but they were never really in it after Nedeljkovic allowed two goals in the first nine minutes of the first period. The 28-year-old has seen a heavy workload since Tristan Jarry's demotion, starting seven of Pittsburgh's last nine games, and it could be catching up with Nedeljkovic. On the season, he sports a 2-3-2 record with a 3.07 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Tending twine Thursday Nedeljovic will patrol the visiting crease versus Carolina on Thursday, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Nedeljkovic is 2-0-1 in his last three starts, allowing five goals on 75 shots. Overall, the 28-year-old is 2-2-2 with a 2.76 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Hurricanes are third in NHL scoring, averaging 4.09 goals.

Allows three in loss Nedeljkovic made 23 saves on 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders.

Impact Nedeljkovic allowed two goals at even strength and one on the power play. The Ohio native had a brief two-game win streak snapped Tuesday, but he's posted a respectable 2.76 GAA and .900 save percentage to go along with a 2-2-2 record across six appearances this season. The Penguins play a back-to-back set against the Hurricanes and Capitals on Thursday and Friday, respectively, and Nedeljkovic will almost certainly be between the pipes for one of those matchups.

Wins second consecutive Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Montreal.

Impact Nedeljkovic earned a second consecutive win, allowing two goals on 50 shots in victories over the Ducks and Canadiens. While the two opponents aren't exactly offensive powerhouses, Pittsburgh's goaltending has been its weakest area early on, and the 28-year-old Nedeljkovic offers a glimmer of hope. He's currently the club's No. 1 goalie while Tristan Jarry sorts himself on a conditioning assignment at AHL Wilkes-Barre. Next up for the Pens is a three-game road trip that kicks off Tuesday against the Islanders.
