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

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

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

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. 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.

Nedeljkovic allowed five goals on 36 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss versus Winnipeg. The Jets' final goal was an empty-netter. 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, 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.
