Nedeljkovic will patrol the home crease versus Washington on Thursday, according to Penguins' studio host Dan Potash .

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will make his second start in Pittsburgh's last eight games. He is 13-15-5 with a 3.16 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 37 appearances in 2024-25. The Capitals are generating 3.51 goals per game this season, which ranks second in the NHL.

Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks. The third goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

This was Nedeljkovic's first start since March 21, though he made two relief appearances over the six games in between starts. The 29-year-old played fairly well, but the Blackhawks got a shorthanded goal from Frank Nazar and a breakaway tally by Ilya Mikheyev to send Nedeljkovic to the loss. The 29-year-old is now at a 13-15-5 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 37 appearances. Tristan Jarry could be back between the pipes for the rematch against the Blackhawks in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Nedeljkovic will be between the pipes in Sunday's road game versus the Blackhawks, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Tristan Jarry played in Saturday's 5-3 win over Dallas. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 13-14-5 record with one shutout, a 3.19 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 36 appearances this season. Chicago sits 26th in the league with 2.70 goals per game in 2024-25.

Nedeljkovic stopped 15 of 18 shots after replacing Tristan Jarry early in the second period of Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The real issue was the Pittsburgh defense, as neither netminder was able to do much against a barrage of high-danger chances. Nedeljkovic has come on in relief in back-to-back games, and through six appearances in March, he's gone 1-3-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .900 save percentage as the Penguins fade out of the playoff picture.

Nedeljkovic made 18 saves in a 6-1 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. He allowed two goals.

EDGE Analysis

The Pens are struggling, and Ned has won just once in March (1-3-0) in four starts. Overall, he's 13-14-5 with a 3.15 GAA and .894 save percentage, and the team has been sending Tristan Jarry out first for much of the month. Keep him benched for now.

Nedeljkovic stopped 44 of 47 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Even in the second half of their back-to-back, the Blue Jackets found plenty of chances, but they couldn't keep pace with the Penguins' suddenly surging offense. Nedeljkovic did enough to get the job done, with the 44 saves marking a season high for the Ohio native. He's also undefeated in three outings where he's faced more than 40 shots this season. Overall, Nedeljkovic is up to 13-14-5 with a 3.16 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 34 outings. The Penguins have rolled with Tristan Jarry lately, but he and Nedeljkovic are both likely to struggle if they start either Sunday versus the Panthers or Tuesday versus the Lightning.

Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod at home against the Blue Jackets on Friday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will be in the pipes for the first time since March 7, with Tristan Jarry having featured in five straight games for the Pens. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic is currently mired in a five-game losing streak, having gone 0-5-0 with a 4.43 GAA in his last six outings. Barring a strong performance by Nedeljkovic, the Penguins will likely turn back to Jarry for the bulk of the workload the rest of the way.

Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 27 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic took his fifth loss in a row, though this was one was due to a lack of goal support rather than just his own poor performance. The 29-year-old is down to 12-14-5 with a 3.17 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 33 outings this season. The Penguins' three-game road trip ends Sunday in Minnesota, which is still likely to be a challenging matchup for Nedeljkovic should he get the start.

Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic will look to end his four-game losing streak, a span in which he's made five appearances and allowed a total of 18 goals. The Golden Knights have won five of their last six games, and they've scored 23 goals in that span, so this is not a good matchup for fantasy managers to have Nedeljkovic active.

Nedeljkovic stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. The last two goals were empty-netters.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic put in a respectable performance, but Casey Mittelstadt's tie-breaking power-play goal with 4:09 left was the difference. It'll go down as a fourth straight loss for Nedeljkovic, who has given up 18 goals over five appearances in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is now 12-13-5 with a 3.14 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 32 contests. While he has the benefit of a high volume of playing time, Nedeljkovic is playing on a team heading in the wrong direction, so fantasy managers looking for wins should turn elsewhere. The Penguins' road trip continues Friday in Vegas.
