Thursday's game against Winnipeg will be the 26-year-old's second consecutive start, he has continued to remain the first option ahead of Thomas Greiss.

Nedeljkovic surrendered three goals on 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic faced over twice as many shots as Sharks goalie Adin Hill (19) in the contest. While Nedeljkovic did well to keep things close, he couldn't stop Logan Couture's shot a minute into overtime. In his last five games, Nedeljkovic is 1-3-1 with 17 goals allowed. He slipped to 10-9-4 with a 2.87 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 25 outings overall. This is his first year as a true No. 1 goalie, so he'll continue to be useful in fantasy as long as he's seeing a majority of the starts for the Red Wings. Their next scheduled game is Thursday at home versus the Jets.

Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Sharks, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic received no help in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Kings. He's struggled lately with a 3-6-0 record, a 3.33 GAA and a .901 save percentage in nine games since the start of December. The Sharks are missing some supporting players, but Nedeljkovic remains hard to trust in fantasy given his recent skid.

Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 41 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings lived in their own zone in the first period, and the Kings were able to cash in twice. Nedeljkovic had it a little easier later on, but the Red Wings' offense didn't give him any support. The 26-year-old slipped to 10-9-3 with a 2.86 GAA and a .915 save percentage through a career-high 24 appearances. The American netminder remains the best option in goal for the Red Wings, but it's unclear if he'll start Sunday against the Ducks after facing such a heavy workload.

Nedeljkovic made 24 of a possible 26 saves in a winning effort against San Jose on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was struggling coming into Tuesday's clash as he had gone 1-5-0 with a 3.72 GAA in his previous six outings. If he gets the starting nod against the Ducks on Thursday, the 25-year-old netminder will look to put together the beginning of a winning streak against a Ducks squad dealing with a raft of injuries/COVID-19 cases.

Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice, indicating he'll start Tuesday's home game versus the Sharks, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic has lost his last two starts, allowing nine goals in that span. The 25-year-old still represents a solid option in goal against a Sharks team that will be missing captain Logan Couture to the COVID-19 protocols.

Nedeljkovic made 32 saves in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
He got staked to a 1-0 lead midway through the first period, but the game was all Boston after that and Nedeljkovic eventually faltered in the third period after keeping things close for 40 minutes. It was the 25-year-old's first action since Dec. 16 but he's now 1-5-0 in his last six starts, and Nedeljkovic's 2.89 GAA and .913 save percentage continue to trend in the wrong direction.
