Nedeljkovic will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Sabres, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will take his turn in goal Saturday -- he's alternated with Thomas Greiss in the last six games with only one set of back-to-backs. Since an ugly season opener against the Lightning, Nedeljkovic hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last five starts, making him a serviceable option in fantasy.

Nedeljkovic stopped 38 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal's final goal was scored into an empty net. Nedeljkovic was perfect after allowing two tallies in the first 10 minutes, but the Wings weren't able to take advantage of the opportunity for a comeback he provided them with. The 25-year-old has a respectable .911 save percentage through his first six appearances with Detroit, but it's only resulted in a 1-2-2 record and 3.06 GAA.

Nedeljkovic will protect the road goal Tuesday versus the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic has had mixed results in five appearances so far, posting a 1-1-2 record with a .900 save percentage. He'll face a Canadiens team still trying to find its footing, but the Red Wings will be missing two of their top offensive players in Tyler Bertuzzi (not injury related) and Dylan Larkin (personal). That could make it tough for Nedeljkovic to escape Montreal with a win.

Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 33 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Considering he was facing an undefeated Panthers team, this is a fairly strong outing from Nedeljkovic. The 25-year-old saw his record dip to 1-1-2 with 15 goals allowed on 150 shots. The .900 save percentage won't turn any heads, but he's seeing a fairly even share of playing time in a tandem with Thomas Greiss, who will likely start Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod for Friday's home game against the Panthers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic is coming off his first win as a Red Wing, stopping 32-of-35 shots against the Blackhawks on Sunday. The 25-year-old is 1-1-1 with a disappointing .897 save percentage and 3.40 GAA through four appearances. Friday's matchup against the league's hottest team will be a tough test.

Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 35 shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

For the second time in four appearances, the Red Wings gave Nedeljkovic six goals of support. This time, it was enough for him to earn his first win with the team. He's allowed 12 goals across his three starts this season, so there's been some growing pains for the 25-year-old. The starting job isn't fully his yet, as Thomas Greiss has also been solid to open the year. A tough test awaits for either goalie in Wednesday's road game versus the Capitals.

Nedeljkovic will be stationed between the pipes for Sunday's tilt in Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Since coughing up seven goals on 48 shots against the Lightning in his first start of the season, Nedeljkovic has allowed two goals on 34 shots in his last two appearances. Sunday will be his third start of the 2021-22 campaign, and he's still searching for his first victory as a Red Wing.

Nedeljkovic stopped all six shots he faced in relief of starter Thomas Greiss in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic came off the bench midway through the second period after the Canadiens made it 5-1. He wasn't tested a whole lot the rest of the way and likely remains the probable starter for Sunday's road clash with Chicago. Nedeljkovic owns a 4.41 GAA and .890 save percentage in three appearances and is searching for his first victory as a Red Wing.

Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 3-0 loss to Calgary on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic gave up goals by Elias Lindholm and Andrew Mangiapane in a span of 4:27 during the first period but kept the Flames off the board the rest of the way. It wasn't enough to earn a win, thanks to a complete lack of offensive support, but it was an encouraging performance by Nedeljkovic after he had allowed seven goals in his Detroit debut one week earlier.

Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice at Thursday's gay-day skate, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod at home against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will be back between the pipes for the first time since the season opener in which he was rocked to the tune of seven goals allowed on 48 shots in an overtime loss to Tampa Bay. With Thomas Greiss having allowed one goal in each of the Wings' previous two contests, Nedeljkovic could be in danger of conceding the No. 1 job in the Motor City if he struggles again Thursday.
