Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod in Toronto on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After coughing up 13 goals in his previous three appearances, Nedeljkovic posted a smooth 17-save shutout against the Devils on Sunday. It was his fourth shutout of the season and improved his save percentage to .901 through 58 games. The Ohio native is 0-2-0 against the Maple Leafs this year with a brutal .817 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic will start Sunday's game in New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was supposed to get a day off Saturday after allowing 11 goals in his previous two starts, but he was called upon in relief during a 7-2 loss to the Penguins and allowed two of those goals. Given that context, Nedeljkovic will be tough to trust Sunday despite a favorable matchup against a Devils team that's won only three of its last 12 games and will be without one of its key forwards in Nico Hischier (illness).

Nedeljkovic replaced a struggling Thomas Greiss in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Penguins, stopping 13 of 15 shots in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings have run Nedeljkovic ragged, as he's made 50 starts and drawn into 57 total games. For perspective, Ned appeared in only 29 contests for the Hurricanes in a four-season span between 2016-21. He'll carry a 19-23-9 record, 3.37 GAA and .900 save percentage into Sunday's road clash with the Devils, numbers that beg the question of how much better they'd be if his tank wasn't on empty for so long.

Nedeljkovic made 22 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Panthers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Kitties got off to a slow start and were on their heels before pouncing with two goals late in the first by Aleksander Barkov and Mason Marchment just 46 seconds apart. That made it 3-1 and the Panthers just toyed with the Wings like a cat with a mouse en route to their franchise-tying 12th straight victory.

Nedeljkovic (illness) will defend the blue paint during Thursday's road game versus the Panthers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic wasn't great in his last start Sunday against Florida, surrendering six goals on 39 shots en route to a 6-1 home loss. He'll try to bounce back and secure his 20th win of the year in a road rematch with the same Panthers squad Thursday.

Nedeljkovic (illness) will not be available Tuesday against the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
With Nedeljkovic out, Thomas Greiss will start while Magnus Hellberg serves as the backup. Detroit's next game is Thursday against the Panthers, who scored six goals on 39 shots against Nedeljkovic on Sunday.

Nedeljkovic missed Tuesday's morning skate due to illness and is a game-time decision against Tampa Bay, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas Greiss is the confirmed starter against the Lightning, so backup duty will go to either Nedeljkovic, if he feels well enough to suit up, or Magnus Hellberg.

Nedeljkovic allowed six goals on 39 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
This result was about what you would expect in a clash between the league's best offensive team and one of the NHL's worst defenses. Nedeljkovic shut out the Hurricanes in his previous start, but that strong effort against his former team is clearly an outlier, as Nedeljkovic has allowed three-plus goals in six of his last seven outings, and at least five goals in four of those games.

Nedeljkovic will start Sunday's game against the Panthers, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic ceded the net to Thomas Greiss in Saturday's loss to the Rangers, but he will be back between the pipes for Sunday's matinee. He faced first-place Florida a couple times earlier this season and posted a 2.60 GAA and .918 save percentage over 46:06 TOI.

Nedeljkovic stopped 46 shots in Thursday's 3-0 shutout win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was impenetrable against his former team, as the Red Wings stole a victory despite being outshot 46-to-22. The shutout was the third of the season for the 26-year-old netminder, who now sports a 2-1-1 record with a .925 save percentage in April. Nedeljkovic has looked like an elite goaltender at points this season, though his numbers have been inconsistent behind a young Detroit team. If the Red Wings are able to take another step forward in 2022-23, Nedeljkovic could be a very intriguing goaltending option.
