Nedeljkovic made 21 saves in a 3-2 win over Washington on Thursday.
It was Ned's third consecutive win. He's 8-8-2 with a 3.06 GAA and .891 save percentage in 17 starts (21 appearances). Nedeljkovic is the clear number two in San Jose, but he has been alternating with Yaroslav Askarov since the calendar flipped to 2006. He's worth a pick up given his current success, especially in daily leagues.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Hangs on for OT win
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic turned aside 16 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars.
The veteran netminder was staring at 2-0 and 4-2 deficits over the course of the afternoon but got bailed out by the Sharks' power play, which struck four times including Tyler Toffoli's OT winner. Nedeljkovic could be playing for his job right now with San Jose having acquired Laurent Brossoit on Thursday, and the former isn't making a great case to stick around -- over his last five outings, he's 2-2-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .847 save percentage.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Gets back in win column
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 34 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Nedeljkovic had gone 0-2-0 with 11 goals allowed on 55 shots over his previous three outings. The 29-year-old put together a sharp performance this time out, with the 36 shots against being the most he's faced since the Hurricanes peppered him with 43 on Oct. 14. With the win, Nedeljkovic is up to 6-8-2 with a 3.07 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 19 appearances. Yaroslav Askarov is likely to get the nod for Wednesday's game in Los Angeles, and both goalies should get a chance to play during a tough weekend back-to-back with home games against the Stars on Saturday and the Golden Knights on Sunday.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: First off at morning skate
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic is slated to start at home Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Nedeljkovic has conceded at least three goals in each of his last three starts and hasn't earned a win since Dec. 11 in Toronto. The 29-year-old will look to right the ship against a Columbus squad that currently sits last in the Eastern Conference with an 18-16-7 record. This will be the first matchup of the Blue Jackets' four-game road trip out west after blowing a 4-1 lead versus the Penguins on Sunday.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Takes loss in relief
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 12 of 16 shots in relief Saturday in a 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Nedeljkovic is 5-8-2 with a 3.14 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 18 appearances. He's 1-3-0 with 16 goals allowed in his last five appearances. Nedeljkovic hasn't started since Dec. 18 against Dallas, and he will continue to play second fiddle to Askarov.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Poor showing in relief
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped seven of 10 shots in relief of Yaroslav Askarov in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Askarov was shelled for four goals on 16 shots in less than 15 minutes. Nedeljkovic entered the game late in the first period and still managed to give up a goal in each frame despite the Golden Knights backing off their high pace. Nedeljkovic won't wear the loss this time, but this was a poor outing and the fifth time in his last seven games he's allowed at least three goals. He's at a 5-7-2 record with a 3.06 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 17 appearances this season. With Askarov also struggling lately, the Sharks may split the crease until one goalie or the other gets back on track.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Struggles, suffers blunder in loss
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Nedeljkovic had some struggles against the Stars' top players in this contest. However, the game was decided on his own blunder, a bad pass up the middle to Justin Hryckowian, who buried the game-winning goal before Nedeljkovic could get back into position. The 29-year-old goalie has gone 2-2-0 with 13 goals allowed over five appearances in December. He's now at a 5-7-2 record with a 3.01 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 16 contests this season. Yaroslav Askarov should be expected back between the pipes for Saturday's favorable matchup against the Kraken.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Falls to Philly
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers, with Philadelphia's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Sharks didn't give Nedeljkovic much support at either end of the ice, getting outshot 30-18 on the night. The 29-year-old netminder has just one win in his last seven outings, going 1-4-0 during that stretch with a 3.07 GAA and an .890 save percentage. Yaroslav Askarov (illness) should be back soon enough to resume his duties as San Jose's No. 1 in the crease.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Drawing start in Philadelphia
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic is set to face the Flyers on the road Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Nedeljkovic picked up his first win since Nov. 7 on Sunday, allowing just one goal on 29 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Strong performance Sunday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 29 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Nedeljkovic tended one of his strongest games of the season, as he allowed just one goal on a Carolina power play in the first period. With the win, he now has a 4-5-2 record with a 3.01 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. After posting back-to-back seasons with double-digit wins for the Penguins, the 29-year-old netminder is on pace to do the same in his first season with the Sharks. If the Sharks continue their winning ways this season, he could turn in a solid campaign while backing up Yaroslav Askarov, though Nedeljkovic's win Sunday was his first in exactly one month.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic will get the start Sunday against the Hurricanes, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Nedeljkovic has served as more of a backup lately with the impressive run that Yaroslav Askarov has been on, but the former will get a chance to start Sunday. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic is seeking his first win since Nov. 7, as he has lost his last three starts. He carries a 3-5-2 record, 3.19 GAA and .894 save percentage into this game against the Hurricanes, who are fifth in the NHL with 3.41 goals per game.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Not great in relief outing
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 15 of 18 shots in relief of Yaroslav Askarov in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Capitals.
The Capitals didn't take it easy on Nedeljkovic, who was a little better than Askarov. This appearance didn't lead to a decision for Nedeljkovic, who remains at 3-5-2 through 12 appearances. The 29-year-old goalie has added a 3.19 GAA and an .893 save percentage this season, which has seen him settle into a backup role. The Sharks are setting out on a five-game road trip that begins Friday in Dallas, but without a back-to-back set during their travels, it's unclear when Nedeljkovic might next get into a game.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Yields four goals in loss
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Nedeljkovic wasn't sharp enough to stop the Golden Knights' flurry of offense in the second period. He did better in the third to keep the game close, but the Sharks couldn't pull even. Nedeljkovic has gone four outings without a win, posting a record of 0-3-0 with 12 goals allowed on 96 shots in that span. On the year, he's at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.12 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 11 outings, numbers quite similar to what he did in 38 games with the Penguins in 2024-25. With the Sharks' fortunes starting to sour, Nedeljkovic may get some chances to tend the twine, but Yaroslav Askarov looks to be the clear starter at this point of the season.

The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 3-4-2 record with a 3.02 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Vegas is tied for 19th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this campaign.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Concedes twice in relief
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 21 of 23 shots in relief in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Avalanche.
Nedeljkovic had to step into the game in relief after Yaroslav Askarov, who conceded four goals on 19 shots during the first two periods, was pulled. Nedeljkovic has found ways to put up good numbers between the pipes, but he should continue to split the workload with Askarov until further notice. It wouldn't be surprising if Nedeljkovic gets the start against the Canucks on Friday.
