Nedeljkovic (lower body) was recalled from his conditioning stint Saturday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was a memorable stint in the AHL as Nedeljkovic scored his second career goal Friday, becoming the first netminder in AHL history to score twice. Nedeljkovic made only one start in the AHL, stopping 17 shots in a 4-2 win over Providence.

Nedeljkovic (lower body) was loaned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for a conditioning assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic is eligible to return from long-term injured reserve Sunday versus Vegas. Considering he's cleared for game action in the minors, he may be able to suit up Sunday or shortly thereafter. Magnus Hellberg would likely return to the AHL once Nedeljkovic is activated.

Nedeljkovic (lower body) faced some shots at Wednesday's practice session, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic won't be an option for the Penguins' next two contests but is eligible to be activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's clash with Vegas. The Penguins have an upcoming back-to-back against the Hurricanes and Golden Knights on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, which would be a prime opportunity for Nedeljkovic to make his return to the crease. If Ned can't play, fantasy players can expect Magnus Hellberg to start one of those two games.

Nedeljkovic (lower body) is skating in Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic will still be out until at least Nov. 19 due to his placement on long-term injured reserve but it sounds like he's making progress. Once he's activated, Magnus Hellberg will likely head back to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Nedeljkovic (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic sustained the injury during Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Dallas. With his placement on LTIR, he'll be out for a minimum of 10 games and 24 days, meaning he won't return until Nov. 19 versus Vegas at the earliest. Pittsburgh currently doesn't have a second healthy goaltender on its roster, so it will need to call up a netminder, possibly Magnus Hellberg, to presumably serve as the backup to Tristan Jarry for Thursday's contest against the Avalanche.

Although Nedeljkovic was in net for the entirety of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Dallas, he sustained a lower-body injury during the contest, per Rob Rossi of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic attempted to practice Wednesday, but he left before the morning skate's conclusion. He has a 1-1-0 record, 3.00 GAA and .914 save percentage in two games this season. Tristan Jarry might get the home start Thursday versus Colorado regardless, but if Nedeljkovic isn't available then Pittsburgh will need to call up a goaltender to fill in against the Avalanche.

Nedeljkovic made 30 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
After keeping Dallas off the scoreboard in the first period, things began to fall apart for Nedeljkovic in the second after a Jason Robertson tally, and the 27-year-old Nedeljkovic played with little control in the third. Nedeljkovic's numbers through two starts are solid and include a .914 save percentage, but he's unlikely to push Tristan Jarry for the starting role any time soon with performances like this one.

Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod at home versus Dallas on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic will make his second appearance of the season after starter Tristan Jarry gave up four goals in each of the Penguins' last two contests. In his prior outing this campaign, the 27-year-old Nedeljkovic stopped 34 of 36 shots against the Flames in a winning effort, something Pittsburgh hasn't done since. With the club having loaded up for a postseason run, Nedeljkovic could push for more opportunities if he continues to outperform Jarry.

Nedeljkovic made 34 saves Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The game was tight until the third period. The Flames were up 1-0 heading into the third, in large part due to the strong play of Nedeljkovic who kept the game tight. Then the Pens tore things open with five goals in the third. He is 1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .944 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease Saturday against Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
