Nedeljkovic will patrol the crease at home versus the Lightning on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will make his sixth straight appearance in the crease after coming on in relief of Thomas Greiss against the Islanders on Thursday. In his last four starts, the 26-year-old Ohio native went 2-2-0 with a 2.32 GAA and .937 save percentage. With upcoming matches versus the Lightning, Penguins and Rangers, Nedeljkovic may be hard-pressed to put together a string of victories.

Nedeljkovic replaced Thomas Greiss (upper body) after the second intermission of Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders and allowed two goals on 10 shots.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic gave up a goal on the first shot against him, allowing New York's lead to grow to 4-0. He settled down but gave up another later in the period. To add insult to injury for Greiss, the German goalie was saddled with the loss against his former team in addition to getting run into by Oliver Wahlstrom, which was likely the cause of Greiss' exit. Nedeljkovic will likely start at least one of Detroit's games this weekend, as the Red Wings will host the Lightning on Saturday before traveling to Pittsburgh the next day.

Nedeljkovic made 30 saves in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic has bounced back nicely after a three-appearance stretch in which he went 0-2-1 with 15 goals allowed. In three starts since, he's 2-1-0 with just six goals against. While the Red Wings' porous defense will make him tough to trust against quality competition, Nedeljkovic has proven he can beat lesser opponents, as indicated by his 17-19-6 record.

Nedeljkovic stopped 38 of 41 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic looked well on his way to consecutive shutouts, but the Kraken sent him on a detour with three goals in a span of 5:53 during the third period. The Red Wings couldn't recover, and Nedeljkovic took his fourth loss in his last five outings. The 26-year-old is down to 16-19-6 with a 3.15 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 45 outings this season. The Red Wings return home for their next game Tuesday against the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic and Thatcher Demko engaged in a goalie duel throughout the contest. The only thing that separated them was Pius Suter's second-period tally. This was Nedeljkovic's second shutout this season, and fifth of his career. He improved to 16-18-6 with a 3.15 GAA and a .903 save percentage. He had gone winless in his last five outings, so this was an important result to earn. The Red Wings finish their road trip Saturday in Seattle.

Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal Thursday versus the Canucks, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic has struggled lately, allowing 15 goals in his last three appearances. Thomas Greiss hasn't been much better, so Nedeljkovic will try to get back on track in a somewhat difficult matchup Thursday.

Nedeljkovic made 22 saves on 25 shots in relief in a 7-5 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedejkovic came in after Thomas Greiss allowed three goals on six shots in less than five minutes. Nedeljkovic did well against a scorching Edmonton offense, allowing one more first period goal, on the power play, before settling in for a shut down second period. The 26-year-old netminder has made two relief outings over the last six appearances, with a 1-2-1 record in his starts.

Nedeljkovic made 35 saves in a 6-5 shootout loss to Minnesota on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He struggled in the first, especially on the Wild's second snipe. Nedeljkovic tried to play Joel Eriksson Ek's dump-in and managed to swat it between his own legs and into the net. He recovered and made several strong saves in a see-saw affair, but couldn't stop the Wild in the shootout. Nedeljkovic is going to play an important role for years on this up and coming squad, but short term, he's 3-6-1 in his last 10 starts with at least five goals scored in half of those.
