Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nedeljkovic will draw the home start against the Stars on Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic didn't start in either of the Sharks' last two games, but he'll return to the crease Thursday. Over his last three starts, he's gone 2-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .932 save percentage. He'll have his hands full against the Stars, who rank fourth in the NHL with 3.29 goals per game this season.

Nedeljkovic made 28 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over Toronto on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He allowed a deflected goal in the first period and a power-play snipe by Auston Matthews in the second. Nedeljkovic then buckled down and gave his mates a shot at the win. He is 2-1-0 in three starts since Sunday. He has allowed six goals.

Nedeljkovic will guard the visiting crease in Toronto on Thursday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will make his third straight start after sitting out 14 of the previous 22 games. Nedeljkovic is 4-6-2 with a 3.02 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 14 appearances. The Maple Leafs are tied for fifth in NHL scoring, generating 3.34 goals per game.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nedeljkovic is set to face the Flyers on the road Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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. The 29-year-old is 4-5-2 with an .899 save percentage and a 3.01 GAA through 13 appearances in 2025-26. The Flyers have generated 2.81 goals per game this season, which ranks 24th in the NHL.

Nedeljkovic stopped 29 shots on 30 save attempts in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic tended one of his strongest games of the season, as he allowed just one goal at a man disadvantage 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. Nedeljkovic's win Sunday was his first in exactly one month, putting him back in contention to be an emergency spot start in two-goalie fantasy formats. If Askarov draws the start Tuesday, Nedeljkovic has a solid chance to play Thursday in Toronto.

Nedeljkovic will get the start Sunday against the Hurricanes, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nedeljkovic stopped 15 of 18 shots in relief of Yaroslav Askarov in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nedeljkovic stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

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 0-3-0 record 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.
