Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Gets little help in loss
Nedeljkovic turned aside 24 shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Utah.
Three of the goals against Nedeljkovic came on the power play, and he wasn't getting much help from his defense at even strength, either. The 28-year-old netminder has only one win in his last six appearances, posting a 1-2-2 record over that stretch with a rough 3.99 GAA and .855 save percentage.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Defending crease Saturday
Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease Saturday against Utah, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Nedeljkovic will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Friday's 4-1 loss to Winnipeg. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 3-3-3 record with a 3.17 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Utah sits 24th in the league with 2.58 goals per game in 2024-25.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Hangs on for shootout win
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Guarding goal Saturday
Nedeljkovic will protect the home net against San Jose on Saturday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Nedeljkovic will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Friday's 6-2 loss to Columbus. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 2-3-3 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .884 save percentage through nine appearances this season. San Jose ranks 31st in the league with 2.33 goals per game in 2024-25.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Falls to Wings in OT
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: Set to start Wednesday
Nedeljkovic is expected to start at home against Detroit on Wednesday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Nedeljkovic has a 2-3-2 record, 3.25 GAA and .882 save percentage in eight appearances in 2024-25. He's struggled recently, allowing 12 goals on 76 shots (.842 save percentage) across his past three outings. However, the Red Wings have also struggled, ranking 30th offensively with 2.43 goals per game.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Needed in relief against Dallas
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Rough night in Carolina
Nedeljkovic made 13 saves in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
The Penguins out-shot the opposition 36-18 on the night, but they were never really in it after Nedeljkovic allowed two goals in the first nine minutes of the first period. The 28-year-old has seen a heavy workload since Tristan Jarry's demotion, starting seven of Pittsburgh's last nine games, and it could be catching up with Nedeljkovic. On the season, he sports a 2-3-2 record with a 3.07 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Tending twine Thursday
Nedeljovic will patrol the visiting crease versus Carolina on Thursday, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Nedeljkovic is 2-0-1 in his last three starts, allowing five goals on 75 shots (.933 save percentage). Overall, the 28-year-old is 2-2-2 with a 2.76 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Hurricanes are third in NHL scoring, averaging 4.09 goals per game.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Allows three in loss
Nedeljkovic made 23 saves on 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders.
Nedeljkovic allowed two goals at even strength and one on the power play. The Ohio native had a brief two-game win streak snapped Tuesday, but he's posted a respectable 2.76 GAA and .900 save percentage to go along with a 2-2-2 record across six appearances this season. The Penguins play a back-to-back set against the Hurricanes and Capitals on Thursday and Friday, respectively, and Nedeljkovic will almost certainly be between the pipes for one of those matchups.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Guarding goal on Long Island
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Wins second consecutive
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: First off ice Saturday
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Shuts down Ducks
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Starting Thursday
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Blitzed in second period
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: In goal Saturday
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.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Loses in shootout
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 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
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
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.
