Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Wins second consecutive
Alex 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 Pittsburgh 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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: In goal Saturday
Alex Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Saturday, Pittsburgh 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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Loses in shootout
Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 22 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.Nedeljkovic twice allowed the Flames to erase one-goal deficits in the third period, then he 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 Pittsburgh 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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: First goalie off Tuesday
Alex 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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Tough assignment in season debut
Alex 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.
