Nedeljkovic turned aside all 12 shots he faced during Monday's 4-2 loss to the visiting Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic, who made his first appearance since Nov. 12, could be in line to start Wednesday's home matchup against the Sabres after starter Ville Husso (four goals on 13 shots) stumbled against the Maple Leafs on Monday. The 26-year-old netminder seeks his first win since holding the Rangers to two goals Nov. 6. Posting a perfect save percentage Monday marked a stark contrast to Nedeljkovic's earlier efforts. In four of his first six appearances, Nedeljkovic registered a save percentage of .862 or lower.

Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic has now given up four or more goals in four of his six outings this year. He's 2-3-1 with a 4.33 GAA and an .873 save percentage after this latest dud performance against the Kings. Nedeljkovic has done little to earn a larger share of playing time over Ville Husso (2.54 GAA, .920 save percentage). With a backup role, Nedeljkovic's fantasy value is limited to deeper formats.

Nedeljkovic will guard the visiting crease against LA on Saturday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic evened his record at 2-2-1 with a win over the Rangers on Sunday. He has a 4.34 GAA and an .880 save percentage as he had a couple of ugly losses, giving up 14 goals on 87 shots, before his victory over New York. Nedeljkovic will face the Kings, who are 9-6-1 and in second place in the Pacific Division, having scored 52 goals in their 16 contests.

Nedeljkovic stopped 27 of 29 shots during a 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old netminder entered Saturday winless in his past three decisions, compiling a 4.96 GAA. After falling behind 2-0 Saturday, Nedeljkovic (2-2-1) silenced the Rangers' offense for the final 45:47, earning his first win since Oct. 15.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings will start Ville Husso against the Islanders on Saturday for the first half of the back-to-back set, which affords Nedeljkovic a prolonged break after the Sabres blitzed him to the tune of eight goals on 46 shots this past Monday. Considering the Blueshirts have recorded the fourth-most shots this season (421), the Wings will need to tighten up defensively and better support Ned, who's off to a poor start based on an .871 save percentage and 4.96 GAA through four contests.

Nedeljkovic allowed eight goals on 46 shots in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The game didn't really get out of hand until the latter half of the third period, so head coach Derek Lalonde left Nedeljkovic in for the whole contest. Considering Ville Husso won his last start, a 2-1 victory over the Wild, this was not the type of performance Nedeljkovic needed to maintain what's been close to a 50-50 split of playing time. The 26-year-old is now 1-2-1 with 20 goals allowed in four outings. Expect Husso to get the nod for Thursday's home game versus the Capitals.

Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports, indicating he will patrol the road net Monday against Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic and Ville Husso had been splitting starts this year until the latter played in two straight games last week. The former is coming off a 6-2 loss to New Jersey last Tuesday. Nedeljkovic has surrendered 12 goals on 109 shots this season en route to a 1-1-1 record.

Nedeljkovic allowed stopped 35 of 41 shots Tuesday as the Devils rolled to a 6-2 rout.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic, who continues to rotate starts with Ville Husso, lost another round of the Red Wings' early-season rotation battle. Unable to make key saves Tuesday, Nedeljkovic allowed the Devils to connect on four consecutive makers, handing the Red Wings their first loss in regulation. Striving to earn the Red Wings' No. 1 role, Nedeljkovic (1-1-1) has not been sharp during consecutive starts.

Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports, indicating he will start Tuesday's home game against New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will get his first home start of the season following two appearances on the road. He will look to improve on his 1-0-1 record against a Devils team that is coming off a 6-3 loss to Washington on Monday night.

Nedeljkovic stopped 25 of 29 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings held a 3-1 lead after two periods, but Nedeljkovic couldn't make it last. A turnover in overtime allowed Max Domi to score the winning goal for the Blackhawks. It's tough to place much blame on Nedeljkovic here. He's allowed six goals on 68 shots through two starts this season, going 1-0-1. He's alternated starts with Ville Husso so far, though it's unclear if that pattern will stick for Sunday's game against the Ducks.
