Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he'll be between the road pipes against the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic seems to have played his way into an even split of playing time with Tristan Jarry, as they have each started five of the Penguins' last 10 games. For his part, the 28-year-old Nedeljkovic is 5-1-1 with a 2.92 GAA in his last eight appearances. The last time he faced the Flyers, the Ohio native stopped 31 of 33 shots in an overtime loss in Philadelphia.

Nedeljkovic made 24 saves in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Pittsburgh grabbed a 5-2 lead early in the second period, but Nedeljkovic couldn't stop Boston from storming back and tying it in the third. Sidney Crosby then bailed out his goalie with the game-winner. Nedeljkovic has taken only one regulation loss since the beginning of December, going 5-1-2 in his last nine outings with a 2.79 GAA and .906 save percentage, and he may be working his way into a timeshare with Tristan Jarry.

Nedeljkovic will tend the twine for Thursday's road clash with Boston, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic gets the nod after having come into Tuesday's game against Washington in relief of Tristan Jarry. Nedeljkovic could challenge for more opportunities down the stretch, especially if Jarry continues to struggle. On the year, Nedeljkovic has the better GAA (2.42 vs. 2.58) and save percentage (.924 vs .912) despite Jarry having put up four shutouts.

Nedeljkovic stopped 14 of 15 shots after replacing Tristan Jarry midway through the first period of Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The only goal Nedeljkovic allowed came on an Alex Ovechkin shot through a screen on the power play, but as it proved to be the game-winner, the netminder was saddled with the loss despite outplaying Jarry on the night. Nedeljkovic didn't take a regulation loss in the entire month of December, going 4-0-2 in seven appearances with a 2.62 GAA and .915 save percentage, and Jarry's recent struggles could open the door for Ned to gain a bigger share of the workload in the Penguins' crease.

Nedeljkovic turned aside 36 of 37 shots in a 3-1 win over the Islanders on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic turned in one of his best starts of the season Sunday, allowing just a Samuel Bolduc goal in the third period while making 36 saves in the win. The 27-year-old Nedeljkovic is now 4-0-1 with a .910 save percentage over his last six appearances. Overall, he improved to 6-2-2 with a .923 save percentage and 2.49 GAA on the season. While Tristan Jarry has played better lately, Nedeljkovic has established himself as a capable backup in Pittsburgh.

Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease Sunday against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic is coming off a 21-save effort in a 5-4 overtime loss to Ottawa on Dec. 23. He will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues. Nedeljkovic has a 5-2-2 record this season with a 2.64 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 10 games played. In three career outings versus the Islanders, he has stopped 61 of 67 shots en route to a mark of 2-0-0.

Nedeljkovic made 21 saves in a 5-4 overtime loss to Ottawa on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The game was heavily tilted in the first two frames because of penalties -- it was all special teams and there was no flow. So both Nedeljkovic and opponent Anton Forsberg were put in difficult situations. And in overtime, Tim Stutzle scored five-hole from in-tight after a scramble for the puck at the Pens blue line. Ned is 3-0-2 in his last five starts. The five goals he allowed were the most in regulation since Dec. 8, 2022. But his stat line remains strong. Nedeljkovic has a 2.64 GAA and .917 save percentage in nine starts (5-2-2).

Nedeljkovic will patrol the visiting blue paint versus Ottawa on Saturday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

EDGE Analysis

It will be Nedeljkovic's third straight start as Tristan Jarry continues to sit on the bench. Nedeljkovic is 5-2-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .927 save percentage over nine games played. He has a favorable matchup against an Ottawa team that lost six straight games.

Nedeljkovic made 23 saves in a 2-1 shootout win over the Hurricanes on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was near-perfect Thursday. The only goal that beat him came off a sharp angle shot by Teuvo Teravainen that deflected in off the skate of Pens defender Kris Letang in the second period. Nedeljkovic has won his last three starts, and his 5-2-1 record overall, 2.38 GAA and .927 save percentage make him a worthy play every time he's in the blue paint. And that's most of the time right now (or it will be) -- Tristan Jarry is 1-3-1 in his last five starts in December and was yanked Monday in his last start. The Pens need to get into the postseason and right now, Nedeljkovic could be the man to go on a much-needed run.

Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease versus Carolina on Thursday, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

EDGE Analysis
