First off ice Saturday Nedeljkovic was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports, an indication that he will protect the home crease ver...

Impact Nedeljkovic will make his fifth start in seven games as he has taken over the reins as the No. 1 netminder with the Penguins. He was sharp in his last outing, allowing only one goal on 23 shots in a 2-1 win over Anaheim. Nedeljkovic is 1-2-1 with a 3.18 GAA and an .890 save percentage this season. The Canadiens have scored 32 goals in 11 games in 2024-25.

Shuts down Ducks Nedeljkovic stopped 22 of 23 shots in a 2-1 victory over Anaheim on Thursday.

Impact Nedeljkovic put together his strongest performance of the season, giving up a first-period goal to Alex Killorn before closing the door on the Ducks the rest of the way. It was the 28-year-old netminder's first victory of the year, having gone 1-2-1 since returning from a preseason lower-body injury. With Tristan Jarry trying to find his game in the minors, Nedeljkovic should continue to see the bulk of the workload, including Saturday's matchup with Montreal.

Starting Thursday Nedeljkovic was the first goaltender off the ice at practice, indicating he will get the home start versus Anaheim on Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic has yet to pick up a win in three starts, going 0-2-1 with a 3.93 GAA and an .874 save percentage. He was good last season, when he took over from Tristan Jarry near the end of the season, as he managed an 18-7-7 record in 38 regular-season appearances. The Ducks are at the bottom of NHL scoring with 21 goals this season.

Blitzed in second period Nedeljkovic stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact The Penguins led 2-0 until the Canucks flipped the script with three goals in a span of 1:05 in the second period. Arshdeep Bains then scored a few minutes later, and that sent the Penguins to a fifth straight loss. Nedeljkovic has been in net for three of them, going 0-2-1 with 12 goals allowed on 95 shots this season. The Penguins' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Wild, and at this point, fantasy managers may want to steer clear of Pittsburgh's crease given the team's overall struggles.

Canucks top struggling Penguins 4-3 with second-period goal-scoring run

Arshdeep Bains scored the first goal of his NHL career, and the Vancouver Canucks scored four goals in under six minutes for a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins

In goal Saturday Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Saturday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic unsurprisingly gets this start after Joel Blomqvist stopped 46 of 50 shots Friday versus the Oilers. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has gone 0-1-1 with eight goals allowed on 61 shots over his first two outings of the campaign, which makes him a risky option behind a leaky and tired defense.

Loses in shootout Nedeljkovic stopped 22 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

Impact Nedeljkovic twice allowed the Flames to erase one-goal deficits in the third period, then allowed three out of six shootout attempts to go in. Through two starts, Nedeljkovic has given up eight goals on 61 shots while going 0-1-1, doing nothing to stabilize the Penguins' disastrous goaltending to begin the year. Nedeljkovic, Tristan Jarry and Joel Blomqvist have all had struggles, though Blomqvist has put forth the best results. The Penguins have a back-to-back with stops in Edmonton on Friday and Vancouver on Saturday, but at this point, it's tough to trust any of the team's goalies in fantasy.

First goalie off Tuesday Nedeljkovic was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus Calgary.

Impact Nedeljkovic will look to bounce back from his season debut versus the Jets on Sunday in which he gave up five goals on 36 shots (.861 save percentage). At this point, it's fair to wonder if Tristan Jarry will start at all during the Pens' four-game road trip with Nedeljkovic potentially splitting the back-to-back against the Oilers and Canucks on Friday and Saturday, respectively, with Joel Blomqvist. Regardless, at this point, Nedeljkovic appears to be the No. 1 option for Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Tough assignment in debut Nedeljkovic allowed five goals on 36 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss versus Winnipeg.

Impact Nedeljkovic made his first appearance of the 2024-25 campaign after sustaining a lower-body injury in a preseason contest against Detroit on Sept. 30. The 28-year-old wasn't given much help in front of him, but Winnipeg boasts a strong offense, now having scored 24 goals across its first five games. Nedeljkovic will have a chance to grab the No. 1 netminding gig with Tristan Jarry struggling to start the season.

Starting in Winnipeg Nedeljkovic will defend the road net Sunday against the Jets, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Nedeljkovic will make his season debut after recovering from injury. He posted a record of 18-7-7 with one shutout, a 2.97 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 38 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Winnipeg has produced 18 goals through four outings this campaign.

Makes trip to Canada Nedeljkovic joined the Penguins on their road trip, which begins Sunday afternoon in Winnipeg, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic returned to Pittsburgh on Saturday after stopping 33 of 36 shots in a 4-3 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday. The Penguins brought three goalies on the four-game sojourn, which extends to the Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver between now and Saturday. Nedeljkovic joined Tristan Jarry and Joel Blomqvist for the trip, and Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan didn't reveal which one will start against the Jets on Sunday.
