• Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Hangs on for shootout win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Nedeljkovic turned aside 26 shots in regulation and overtime and three of five shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks. 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.

  Nedeljkovic will protect the home net against San Jose on Saturday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

• Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Falls to Wings in OT

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Nedeljkovic stopped 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings. 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.

• Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Needed in relief against Dallas

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 32 shots after replacing Joel Blomqvist midway through the first period of Monday's 7-1 loss to the Stars. The Penguins were never in the game, coughing up six goals in the first period alone, and the switch to Nedeljkovic did nothing to wake them up. The 28-year-old netminder has given up 12 goals in his last three appearances, stumbling to a 4.12 GAA and .842 save percentage over that stretch. While Pittsburgh's leaky blue line bears a lot of responsibility for those struggles, Nedeljkovic's spot atop the depth chart seems shaky at best, especially with Tristan Jarry back in the NHL.
