Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod in Chicago on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic looked sharp in his season debut against the Devils, stopping 37 of 39 shots and picking up the win. In 28 road games last season, the 26-year-old posted a .911 save percentage with a 2.95 GAA. However, he coughed up seven goals on 51 shots in two appearances against the Blackhawks during the 2021-22 campaign.

Nedeljkovic made 37 saves as the Red Wings upended the Devils 5-2 Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic, who is beginning the season in a goalie rotation, took his turn in a back-to-back situation Saturday. He responded in a way the new Red Wings coaching staff wanted after surrendering a goal on the second shot he faced. In his second season with the club, Nedeljkovic will split time with Ville Husso. The 26-year-old appeared to wear down during the second half of 2021-22. He registered 20 wins in 52 starts and posted a 3.31 goals-against average and .901 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was solid in his final preseason appearance last Friday against the Maple Leafs, turning aside 21 of 23 shots en route to a 4-2 victory. The 26-year-old netminder will try to secure his first win of the 2022-23 campaign in a road matchup with a New Jersey squad that averaged 3.02 goals per game at home last season, 21st in the NHL.

Nedeljkovic set aside 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 4-2 preseason win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic permitted the game's first two goals in the first period, but he kept a level head and saw ample support from his allied skaters the rest of the way. Ville Husso is Ned's biggest competition for playing time this season, though the early indication is that this will be a relatively even rotation between the two netminders. Last year, Nedelkjovic posted an uninspiring 3.31 GAA and .901 save percentage through 59 games, and now there's added pressure for him to bounce back stronger.

Nedeljkovic will be in the home crease when Detroit faces the Maple Leafs on Friday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was the Red Wings' No. 1 goaltender last season but will likely share the net at best with Ville Husso this season. Nedeljkovic was outstanding two seasons ago with the Hurricanes, but he did not have a great year between the pipes in 2021-22, going 20-24-9 with a 3.31 GAA and a .901 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice, indicating he'll start Saturday's road game versus the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will make his second start of the preseason in this game. The 26-year-old goalie figures to be part of a timeshare during the 2022-23 campaign. He didn't play that well in his first preseason game Wednesday against Chicago, but there's little doubt he'll make the NHL roster this year.

Nedeljkovic will guard the home goal Wednesday versus the Blackhawks, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will make his preseason debut in this contest. He's expected to split the game with Jussi Olkinuora, though the exact distribution of minutes is undetermined. Nedeljkovic is set to open the year in a timeshare with Ville Husso, though a hot run by either goalie could see them feature as more of a true starter.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic got hurt at the World Championship in May, but he's clearly recovered to start the year. He's expected to begin 2022-23 in a goalie tandem with Ville Husso, who was acquired from the Blues in the offseason. Nedeljkovic's fantasy outlook is a little dimmer since he won't be the expected starter, so he'll need to play well to earn more starts.

Nedeljkovic has left the IIHF World Championship with a lower-body injury, per Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how severe Nedeljkovic's injury is but it's possible that he left the tournament as a precaution. He was replaced on the roster by Bruins netminder Jeremy Swayman. An update on his status will be available at some point leading up to Detroit's training camp.

Nedeljkovic stopped 33 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was solid but Detroit couldn't generate any offense in the loss. The 26-year-old goaltender is now 3-4-1 in April with a .905 save percentage. His record falls to 20-23-9 on the season with a 3.31 GAA. Nedeljkovic will likely be back in net for Friday's season finale in New Jersey.
