Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic will make his ninth straight start between the pipes when the team takes on the hosting Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. Nedeljkovic has come out of nowhere to take over starting duties from the struggling Tristan Jarry and is a key reason why the Pens sit just one point back of the Red Wings for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The 28-year-old owns a 2.82 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage in 33 games this season but has also posted a 2.50 GAA and a .917 Sv% across four games in the month of April. The Penguins are one of three teams sitting just a single point out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic will be between the pipes on Friday against Minnesota as the team kicks off a back-to-back. He will make his 15th start of the season, hoping to improve an 8-3-3 record. Nedeljkovic has provided quality outings for the Penguins, and he could have a special night on Friday, as the 28-year-old will go head-to-head with former Pittsburgh favorite Marc-Andre Fleury. Nedeljkovic enters the contest holding a 2.60 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage with one shutout.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic will start Friday's matchup against Florida. The 28-year-old makes his first appearance since Jan. 11 as Pittsburgh begins a back-to-back set. Nedeljkovic has done an admirable job for the Penguins this season, posting an 8-3-2 record. He has allowed 2.66 goals with a .916 save percentage and one shutout. It's a battle against a high-scoring team for Nedeljkovic on Friday, as the Panthers are averaging 3.23 goals per game
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod Friday night versus the visiting Florida Panthers. While Tristan Jarry has started each of the last five games, Nedeljkovic made four starts in a five-game stretch prior to Jarry re-taking the net. The 28-year-old has been excellent when called upon this season, working to a 2.66 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage in 15 outings (13 starts), going an impressive 8-3-2 in that time. Certainly, it's been a bounce-back year for the 2020-21 Calder Trophy finalist as he posted a rough 3.53 GAA and .895 Sv% across 15 appearances with the Red Wings last season while spending much of the season with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic is the confirmed starting netminder for Thursday's game against the visiting Vancouver Canucks. Thursday marks the second straight start for Nedeljkovic over Tristan Jarry after the former turned aside 36 of 37 shots in a 4-1 win over the Flyers on Monday. It was another solid outing in a bounce-back season for the 28-year-old as he now sports an 8-3-2 record along with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage in 14 outings (12 starts). This work comes on the heels of a 3.53 GAA and .895 Sv% in 15 games for the Red Wings last season while spending much of the season in the AHL. Jarry fantasy managers should keep an eye on the timeshare in the Penguins crease moving forward.
Alex Nedeljkovic Posts Shutout Against Golden Knights
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic made a season-high 38 saves in Sunday's 3-0 victory against the Golden Knights. The 27-year-old was perfect in his return to the crease as he picked up his second win of the season, while it was the goaltender's first shutout as a member of the Penguins in the third start. Nedeljkovic's previous start came on Oct. 24 against the Stars, when he suffered a lower-body injury that forced him to go on long-term injured reserve. Nedeljkovic has posted a record of 2-1-0 to go along with a 2.00 goals against average and .944 save percentage while reclaiming the backup role to starter Tristan Jarry, and goaltender Magnus Hellberg was re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
Alex Nedeljkovic Lands On Long-Term Injured Reverve
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) has been placed on long-term Injured Reserve. The 27-year-old was hurt Tuesday against Dallas and will now be sidelined for a minimum of 10 games and 24 days. Nedeljkovic has gone 1-1-0 in his first two appearances as a Penguin, allowing 3.01 goals with a .914 save percentage. Pittsburgh has called up Magnus Hellberg from the minors to back up Tristan Jarry until Nedeljkovic is ready to return. The Penguins have no back-to-backs scheduled until Nov. 19, when Nedeljkovic is eligible to return to action, so Jarry should get a lot of burn in the next few weeks.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars. He was able to get through the game and also tried to practice on Wednesday but left the session early. The 27-year-old gave up four goals on 34 shots Tuesday. It was his second start of the season after debuting with the Penguins in a 5-2 victory over the Flames on Oct. 14. The Penguins have placed Nedeljkovic on Injured Reserve, meaning he will be unavailable for at least three games.
Alex Nedeljkovic Posts Second Shutout In Four Starts
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic picked up his fourth shutout of the season on Sunday with 17 saves in a 3-0 victory over New Jersey. It's his second shutout in his last four starts, and Nedeljkovic became the first Red Wings rookie with at least four shutouts since Roger Crozier recorded six in 1964-65. It's been a pretty rough season for the 26-year-old, but he's had some decent results and performances lately. Nedeljkovic heads into the final two games of the season with a 20-29-9 record, and he's registered a 3.31 goals-against average with a .901 save percentage.
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic is battling an illness and is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's clash with Tampa. He missed the morning skate and Magnus Hellberg is set to back up Thomas Greiss if Nedeljkovic doesn't feel better by game time. The 26-year-old recently picked up his third shutout of the season, but it's been an inconsistent campaign for him and he owns a 19-22-9 record with a 3.33 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. Greiss has done even worse, and it's clear that Detroit needs more defensive quality in the team.
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic frustrated his former teammates on Thursday, saving 46 shots in a 3-0 win over Carolina. He registered the second-most saves a Detroit goalie has had in a shutout since 1955-56 when the league started to record shots on goal. Nedeljkovic now has three shutouts in total for the campaign and sits on a 19-21-9 record with a 3.27 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. Having suffered just two regulation defeats in his last seven starts, Nedeljkovic is having a pretty solid finish to the year. He also had a 47-save performance in a win over Boston last week and seems very sharp right now.
Alex Nedeljkovic Has Career-High 47 Saves In Tuesday's Win
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic produced a career-high 47 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Boston and also had an assist. He logged his second helper of the season inside the final minute when Sam Gagner scored an empty-net goal. Carolina's Frederik Andersen is the only goalie in the league with more assists this season (4). Nedeljkovic has been forced to clean up for a struggling team and he hasn't had a lot of joy this term, particularly during the latter half of the regular season. Tuesday marked just his fourth winning effort in his last 14 starts. Nedeljkovic's record for the season sits at 18-21-8, and he's registered a 3.31 goals-against average with a .901 save percentage and two shutouts.
Alex Nedeljkovic Shuts Out Vancouver With 43 Saves
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic looked like a brick wall against the Canucks on Thursday, stopping 43 shots in a 1-0 victory. He picked up his second shutout of the season and now carries a 16-18-6 record. Detroit is having another disappointing season and it's not been easy for Nedeljkovic, who has registered a 3.16 goals-against average with a .903 save percentage. This is only his third win since the start of last month and Nedeljkovic has won two outings on the bounce just once since December, so fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited.
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic had another great performance on Tuesday against the Bruins, picking up his third consecutive victory with 41 saves. Things started off pretty quietly as the B's had eight efforts in the opening period, but the hosts then went full out on offense and produced back-to-back periods with 17 shots. However, Nedeljkovic managed to stand tall, and he now owns a 7-3-3 record for the season. The 25-year-old has produced a very good .923 save percentage and he allows 2.58 goals per game. We'll likely see Thomas Greiss on Wednesday against Seattle, but Nedeljkovic looks like the No. 1 choice now and fantasy managers might want to scoop him up if he's available.
Alex Nedeljkovic Goes For A Third Consecutive Victory
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic will log a fourth consecutive start on Tuesday against Boston, looking for his third win in a row. The 25-year-old has beaten St. Louis and Buffalo in back-to-back outings, giving up only two goals in both matchups. He's improved to 6-3-3 for the season and owns a 2.70 goals-against average with a .9.18 save percentage. It's very tough to beat the Bruins and the home team is the odds-on favorite for the clash, but Nedeljkovic has been hot lately and Boston will be missing the suspended Brad Marchand, so the visitors might spring a surprise here.
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic will earn his 12th start of the campaign in Saturday's meeting with Buffalo. He heads into a favorable matchup with a 5-3-3 record, having allowed 2.76 goals per game with a .917 save percentage. This will be Nedeljkovic's third consecutive start. The Red Wings have rotated him with Thomas Greiss all season, but the German has started to struggle and Nedeljkovic has seemingly gotten a chance to run away with the starter's job. He's already beaten the Sabres once this season and Buffalo visits Motown having lost 10 of the past 13 games.
Alex Nedeljkovic Set For Second Start Of The Season
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic is set to roll out for the second time this season in Thursday's home game against Calgary. The 25-year-old had an eventful season debut last week as the Red Wings blew a 6-3 third-period lead to take a 7-6 loss in overtime against Tampa. Nedeljkovic leaked a lot of goals but still finished the game with 41 saves. Thomas Greiss has so far won both of his starts while allowing only a total of two goals. Calgary has opened the year with back-to-back losses and settled with just two goals in both outings, so this might be a good bounce-back spot for Nedeljkovic.
In a surprise move, the Carolina Hurricanes gave up on their presumed goaltender of the future by trading Alex Nedeljkovic to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. The 25-year-old netminder saw a lot of action in the second half of the 2020-21 season for the Hurricanes and also started nine games in the playoffs where he posted a .920 save percentage and 2.17 GAA. Nedeljkovic was even stronger during the regular season and posted a .932 save percentage and 1.90 GAA in 23 games. He finished third in the Calder Trophy race. In return, the Hurricanes received very little in backup goalie Jonathan Bernier, a pending unrestricted free agent, and a third-round draft pick.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic will be the team's starter for Saturday's road outing against Nashville. The 25-year-old gets his 23rd start of the campaign, heading into the clash with a 15-4-3 record. Nedeljkovic has been hugely impressive with a league-beast 1.89 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage. He's got three shutouts for the year and has beaten the Predators in both of his two prior outings in the matchup in 2020-21. Overall, the Hurricanes have won all six head-to-head meetings, so it's been a very favorable matchup for the team.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic looks set to earn his 21st start of the season on Saturday versus Columbus. The 25-year-old will be going for his 14th win of the campaign. It's been a very impressive season by him, as he's rolled to a 1.94 goals-against average, a .932 save percentage and three shutouts. The Jackets have posted only three wins in their past 19 games, so it's a great spot for Nedeljkovic to improve his record even further. He is 2-1-1 in the matchup this season.
