Nedeljkovic will defend the blue paint versus the Islanders at home Tuesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was excellent in his last appearance Thursday against the Blackhawks, turning aside 27 of 28 shots en route to a 4-1 victory. He'll try to earn his 10th win of the season in a home matchup with a slumping Isles squad that's lost three straight games.

Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic picked up his first win in four outings. The lone blemish on his stat line was a Philipp Kurashev tally in the second period. Nedeljkovic has allowed exactly one goal in five of his last 10 outings. He's now at 9-4-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 18 appearances. Tristan Jarry will likely be back between the pipes for Sunday's game versus the Kings.

Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will handle the second half of a back-to-back after the Penguins lost 5-2 with Tristan Jarry in goal versus the Panthers on Wednesday. Since the start of January, Nedeljkovic has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.94 GAA and a .901 save percentage over six games. He'll get a very favorable matchup, though with Connor Bedard back from a jaw injury, Nedeljkovic could face a bit more of a challenge Thursday.

Nedeljkovic made 27 saves in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The Penguins never led in the game, but Nedeljkovic kept things from getting out of hand and arguably should have been rewarded with a better result. Kirill Kaprizov's game-winner in the third period came right after the puck seemed to hit the netting above the glass in the corner, but play continued and replay was inconclusive. Nedeljkovic hasn't won a game in over a month, mostly due to a lack of work. In six outings since the beginning of January, he's 2-2-1 with a 2.94 GAA and a .901 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic will defend the cage on the road against Minnesota on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will take the first game of the Penguins' back-to-back, which means Tristan Jarry will likely start versus Winnipeg on Saturday. In his last five outings, the 28-year-old Nedeljkovic is 2-1-1 with a 2.90 GAA and .901 save percentage. After this back-to-back, Pittsburgh has another one Wednesday and Thursday against Florida and Chicago, respectively, so Nedeljkovic figures to play again relatively soon.

Nedeljkovic stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough loss for Nedeljkovic, as both goals he gave up in regulation came on Florida power plays, while the two pucks that beat him in the shootout were perfectly placed just inside a post by Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart. Nedeljkovic has made five appearances in January, going 2-1-1 with a 2.90 GAA and .901 save percentage, which are identical ratios to Tristan Jarry (1-3-2) in seven outings this month. Should one of the two netminders heat up after the All-Star break, the Penguins' No. 1 job would seem to be there for the taking.

Nedeljkovic was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, indicating he will be between the home pipes versus Florida on Friday, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic last played Jan. 11 when he gave up three goals on nine shots before he was pulled after the opening period in a 4-3 loss to Vancouver. He has sat on the bench the last four games and will now get a chance to redeem himself versus the Panthers. Nedeljkovic is having a strong year in the Pittsburgh cage, going 8-3-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .916 save percentage. It will be a tough matchup as the Panthers lead the NHL in shots on goal, averaging 34.3 per contest.

Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on nine shots in the first period before he was replaced by Tristan Jarry in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

Brock Boeser scored a pair of goals within a minute before Elias Pettersson added a third tally later in the opening frame, forcing Nedeljkovic to the bench to start the second period. While the Penguins would rally to force overtime, sparing Nedeljkovic the loss, it was a tough outing for the 28-year-old netminder -- he had won three of four outings coming into Thursday's contest, posting a .910 save percentage in that span. Overall, Nedeljkovic is 8-3-2 with a 2.66 GAA on the season.

He is 8-3-2 with a 2.50 GAA and a sparkling .922 save percentage this year. It will be a tough matchup for Nedeljkovic, as the Canucks lead the NHL in scoring, averaging 3.90 goals per game.

Nedeljkovic stopped 36 of 37 shots in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was nearly perfect Monday, allowing just an Owen Tippett power-play goal in the first period. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has played in four of Pittsburgh's last five games, going 3-1-0 with a .933 save percentage in that span. Overall, he's 8-3-2 with a .922 save percentage and 2.50 GAA on the campaign. Nedeljkovic has worked his way into a timeshare with Tristan Jarry, thanks to his play of late.
