Alex Nedeljkovic - NHL News & Rumors

Rare start even rarer win Nedeljkovic made 29 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Impact It was Ned's first game since Dec. 6. Nedeljkovic is just 5-5-3 in 13 starts, and his 3.26 GAA and .886 save percentage is queasy at best. He doesn't get enough playing time to become a viable fantasy asset, but it was still a nice night.

First goalie off Tuesday Nedeljkovic was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus the Kings.

Impact Nedeljkovic has been firmly cemented in the backup role for the Penguins of late, having played in just one of the team's six outings in December. In that appearance, the 28-year-old netminder gave up four goals on 32 shots (.875 save percentage), which no doubt factored into the decision by the club to keep rolling with Tristan Jarry. At this point, Nedeljkovic's next appearance figures to be in a back-to-back at the end of December versus the Islanders either Dec. 28 or 29.

Loses to Rangers on Friday Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 32 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Nedeljkovic has traded wins and losses in his last four starts, but the numbers haven't been encouraging for the 28-year-old. He's given up at least three goals in three of those four starts, a span in which he's posted a 3.71 GAA and an .878 save percentage. The Penguins have been rotating between the pipes of late, and if recent tendencies remain, then Tristan Jarry would be in line to start Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Impact The 28-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Nedeljkovic saw it slip away on a Jonathan Huberdeau shot from in close late in the frame. It was the first time since Nov. 2 that Nedeljkovic had allowed fewer than three goals in an appearance, and on the season he carries a 4-4-3 record with a 3.31 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Guarding goal Saturday Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease Saturday against Calgary, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact During his last outing, Nedeljkovic surrendered six goals on 30 shots in a 6-1 loss to Utah on Nov. 23. He has a 3-4-3 record with a 3.42 GAA and an .877 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Calgary is tied for 27th in the league with 2.54 goals per game in 2024-25.

Gets little help in loss Nedeljkovic turned aside 24 shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Utah.

Impact Three of the goals against Nedeljkovic came on the power play, and he wasn't getting much help from his defense at even strength, either. The 28-year-old netminder has only one win in his last six appearances, posting a 1-2-2 record over that stretch with a rough 3.99 GAA and .855 save percentage.

Defending crease Saturday Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease Saturday against Utah, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Nedeljkovic will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Friday's 4-1 loss to Winnipeg. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 3-3-3 record with a 3.17 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Utah sits 24th in the league with 2.58 goals per game in 2024-25.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.
