Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod in Tuesday's road matchup against the Islanders, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff. After being held without a win in his first three outings to open the campaign, Nedeljkovic has allowed two goals combined over back-to-back wins against Anaheim and Montreal, respectively. The 28-year-old will take an on Islanders club that ranks 31st in the league with 2.25 goals per game through 12 contests. Nedeljkovic is 2-2-1 with a .903 save percentage and a 2.75 GAA over five appearances.

Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Montreal. Nedeljkovic earned a second consecutive win, allowing two goals on 50 shots in victories over the Ducks and Canadiens. While those two opponents aren't exactly offensive powerhouses, Pittsburgh's goaltending has been its weakest area early on, and the 28-year-old Nedeljkovic's recent play is offering the Penguins a glimmer of hope. He's currently the club's No. 1 goalie while Tristan Jarry (5.45 GAA, .836 save percentage) sorts himself out on a conditioning assignment at AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Next up for the Pens is a three-game road trip that kicks off Tuesday against the Islanders.

Nedeljkovic was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports, indicating he will protect the home crease versus Montreal on Saturday. 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 overtime win over Anaheim on Thursday. 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.

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

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.
