Nedeljkovic allowed two goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Both goals Nedeljkovic allowed came on deflections, so it's tough to fault him much for the overtime loss. The 25-year-old slipped to 4-3-3 with a 2.83 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 12 appearances (10 starts) this year. Nedeljkovic has been the better of the Red Wings' goalies lately as Thomas Greiss has struggled, but they've regularly alternated starts since late October and it's unclear if head coach Jeff Blashill will deviate from that pattern any time soon.

Nedeljkovic will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic made a relief appearance Thursday against the Golden Knights after Thomas Greiss struggled. In Nedeljkovic's last four starts, he is 3-1-0 with 11 goals allowed, although he shouldn't have much trouble against an anemic Coyotes offense.

Nedeljkovic allowed a goal on 10 shots in the third period of Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic wasn't on the hook for the loss, as Thomas Greiss gave up four goals in two periods before he was pulled. The 25-year-old Nedeljkovic has been the stronger of the two goalies, posting a 2.92 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 11 appearances (nine starts). Head coach Jeff Blashill has alternated starts between his netminders lately -- should that continue, Nedeljkovic would face the Coyotes on Saturday to end the Red Wings' road trip.

Nedeljkovic surrendered four goals on 29 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic wasn't able to quiet the surging Stars, who ended his three-game winning streak. The 25-year-old netminder dipped to 4-3-2 with a 2.91 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 10 games (nine starts). The Ohio native has settled into an even timeshare with Thomas Greiss, who will likely get the nod for Thursday's game against the Golden Knights. If head coach Jeff Blashill's distribution of starts between his goalies continues in its recent pattern, Nedeljkovic is lined up to face the Coyotes on Saturday.

Nedeljkovic made 35 saves Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic has won three straight games over the last week and has allowed just two goals per game in three of his last four starts. He's not a star just yet -- two of those two-goal efforts were against the Habs, a team not exactly known for their scoring. Still, Nedeljkovic did a great job controlling rebounds Saturday and is showing his rookie season wasn't a fluke. He is 4-2-2 with solid ratios for the Wings.

Nedeljkovic will guard the home cage during Saturday's matchup with Montreal, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was sharp in his last start Tuesday against the Oilers, turning aside 31 of 33 shots en route to an impressive 4-2 win. The 25-year-old netminder will attempt to secure a third straight victory in a favorable home matchup with a Canadiens club that's 1-5-0 on the road this year.

Nedeljkovic turned away 31 of 33 shots in a 4-2 win over Edmonton on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic helped quiet the high-powered Oilers, yielding just a Jesse Puljujarvi breakaway goal late in the second period and a Connor McDavid snipe early in the third. It was the first win on home ice for the first-year Red Wing, who improved to 3-2-2 overall with a 2.89 GAA and .914 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice and is set to start Tuesday's home game against the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last six games. The 25-year-old has a 3.03 GAA and a .910 save percentage in seven contests overall, but he'll be facing the ever-dangerous Oilers offense fronted by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, so fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for goaltending help.

Nedeljkovic made 29 saves in a 4-3 OT victory over the Sabres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ned bent in the second, allowing two goals in a 1:04 span and then allowed one more in the third before Tyler Bertuzzi singlehandedly took the game into his hands to tie things up. After his forgettable seven-goal debacle in his first game, Nedelkjovic has looked almost as good as he did last season with the Canes. He tends to face a lot of rubber, so while wins may be hard to come by, his save percentage and total saves will help.
