Nedeljkovic made 21 saves in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The two teams traded goals in the first 20 minutes, heading into the first intermission tied at 2-2, but after that Nedeljkovic and the Red Wings dominated. The 26-year-old netminder has been inconsistent so far in 2022, however, going 5-6-2 through 14 appearances since the beginning of January with a 3.09 GAA and .901 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice, indicating he'll start Wednesday's road game versus the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic has struggled a bit since the start of January, posting a 4-6-2 record with a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage in his last 13 games. The 26-year-old is in a good position to win Wednesday, however, as the Flyers are near the bottom of the Metropolitan Division standings.

Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 43 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Kings. The last two goals were empty-netters.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings grabbed the lead in the second period, and then retook the lead in the third after the Red Wings had pulled even. Nedeljkovic was much busier in this contest than he was Monday versus the Ducks, but he wasn't able to post consecutive wins. The 26-year-old dropped to 13-13-5 with a 2.90 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 34 outings. He's still the Red Wings' top goalie, so he'll likely be back in goal next Wednesday versus the lowly Flyers.

Nedeljkovic will tend the home goal in Wednesday's game versus the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was solid in his last game, allowing one goal on 15 shots to earn the win over the Ducks. He hasn't played like that often lately, as he posted a 3.10 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 12 appearances in January. He remains a mid-range option in fantasy thanks to his No. 1 status for the Red Wings.

Nedeljkovic made 14 saves on 15 shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
This game only got to overtime because the Red Wings couldn't solve John Gibson more than once in regulation. Nedeljkovic was able to cruise through the contest to earn his first win in his last five outings. The 26-year-old improved to 13-12-5 with a 2.90 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 33 appearances overall. Nedeljkovic should continue to see a starter's workload, but if he struggles too often, Thomas Greiss could begin to vulture some starts.

Nedeljkovic was the first goalie to exit the ice at Monday's game-day skate, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll guard the crease at home versus the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic has dropped four games in a row in which he recorded a terrible 5.12 GAA and .841 save percentage. Still, with Thomas Greiss (not injury related) still working his way back to 100 percent, the Wings don't have much in the way of alternatives than to simply keep rolling with Nedeljkovic.

Nedeljkovic allowed five goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Maple Leafs. The last two goals were empty-netters.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic has now allowed 17 goals in his last four appearances, posting a 0-2-1 record in that span. Saturday's loss was particularly painful -- he had limited the Leafs to two goals in the first two periods before a collapse in the final frame. The 26-year-old is now 12-12-5 with a 2.97 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 32 contests. The Red Wings' next game is Monday versus the Ducks, although it's unknown if Nedeljkovic will get the chance to steer out of his recent skid in that contest.

Nedeljkovic will patrol the crease during Saturday's home game versus the Maple Leafs, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was awful in his last start Wednesday against Chicago, surrendering four goals on just 16 shots before being replaced by Calvin Pickard at the start of the second period of the eventual 8-5 loss. He'll try to shake off that poor performance and snap his personal two-game losing streak in a tough home matchup with a Toronto team that's averaging 3.37 goals per game on the road this campaign, third in the NHL.

Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 16 shots in the first period of Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was replaced by Calvin Pickard to begin the second period. The Red Wings' offense was able to do enough to get Nedeljkovic off the hook, but a no-decision was about the only positive from an otherwise ugly outing for the 26-year-old. His GAA inflated to 2.89 while his save percentage dipped to .912 through 31 appearances. With Thomas Greiss nearing a return from the COVID-19 protocols, Nedeljkovic may soon be challenged for playing time again. His start Wednesday was his seventh in a row.
