ALEX NEDELJKOVIC NEWS

First goalie off Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Kings.

Impact Nedeljkovic is in the mix to serve as the Penguins' No. 1 netminder after Tristan Jarry was recently sent down. Nedeljkovic was stellar in Friday's win over Buffalo, turning aside 40 of 42 shots (.952 save percentage. He'll attempt to remain effective against the Kings, who rank 16th in the NHL with 2.98 goals per game.

Makes history Friday Nedeljkovic stopped 40 of 42 shots, scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact A soft dump-in by the Sabres ended up in the trapezoid, and Nedeljkovic flung the puck toward the empty net from behind his own net. Per Chris Jastrzembski of NHL on TNT, Nedeljkovic is the first goalie to score in the NHL, AHL and ECHL, as well as the first goalie to have a goal and an assist in the same game. On top of the unexpected offense, the 29-year-old was stellar between the pipes, with the 40 saves matching a season high. He's now 8-7-4 with a 3.33 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 20 appearances this season. Nedeljkovic figures to see ample playing time in the near future after the Penguins waived Tristan Jarry following Tuesday's loss to the Kraken. That said, Nedeljkovic has earned a little rest after an unforgettable performance, and it'll likely be Joel Blomqvist's turn in goal against the Capitals on Saturday.

In goal Friday Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod on the road against the Sabres on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact It's the Nedeljkovic era for the Penguins now after Tristan Jarry was sent down to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday. On the year, the 29-year-old Nedeljkovic has posted a 7-7-4 record, which goes with career-worst ratios in both GAA (3.40) and save percentage (.886). As such, the Ohio native's hold on the No. 1 job should be considered tenuous as best, as the Pens may want to turn things over to Joel Blomqvist sooner rather than later.

Gets hook Saturday Nedeljkovic gave up five goals on 17 shots before being replaced by Tristan Jarry midway through the second period of Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Senators.

Impact Nothing went right for Nedeljkovic on the afternoon -- Ottawa's first goal deflected in off Noel Acciari's stick, and two others came after the ref arguably should have blown the play dead. On the other hand, the 29-year-old netminder left his five-hole wide open on a Shane Pinto shorthanded tally late in the first period. Nedeljkovic has started five of the last seven games but hasn't done much with the opportunity, going 2-2-1 with a 3.83 GAA and .884 save percentage as the Penguins continue to search for some stability in net.

Starting at home Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease versus Ottawa on Saturday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Nedeljkovis will make his fifth start in the Penguins' last seven games, after playing just once in the previous nine games. Nedeljkovic is 7-6-4 with a 3.21 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 18 appearances. Ottawa is 22nd in NHL scoring this season, averaging 2.85 goals per game.

Earns win vs. Edmonton Nedeljkovic stopped 40 of 43 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact The 29-year-old has started in four of the Penguins' last six games, but this was one of his most complete performances of the campaign. The 40 saves represented a season-high mark for Nedeljkovic, who's gone 2-1-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .907 save percentage during the aforementioned four-game stretch.

Gets starting nod versus Oilers Nedeljkovic will be between the pipes for Thursday's home clash with Edmonton, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic has been middling at best this season, going 6-6-4 with a 3.22 GAA and .888 save percentage in 17 appearances. With Tristan Jarry continuing to underwhelm, he's 0-1-2 in his last three, a strong performance from either backstop could result in an uptick in starts.

Loses in overtime Sunday Nedeljkovic stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact A three-goal second period accounted for most of the damage, and Nedeljkovic also gave up a goal to Sebastian Aho in overtime to take the loss against the team he made his NHL debut with back in 2016-17. Nedeljkovic has started three of the Penguins' last four games, going 1-1-1 with nine goals allowed in that span. He's now 6-6-4 with a 3.22 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 17 contests this season. Tristan Jarry hasn't done much to keep hold of the crease, but Nedeljkovic isn't really any better, so expect a timeshare to continue between the pipes for the Penguins.
