Petr Mrazek suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's win over the Stars and will undergo an MRI on Monday. In turn, Nedeljkovic is set to back up James Reimer in Sunday's game against the Stars. If Mrazek faces a long-term absence, Nedeljkovic could make a few starts.

Carolina placed Nedeljkovic on waivers Tuesday, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hurricanes claimed Anton Forsberg off waivers in a corresponding move, so it looks like they're hoping to assign Nedeljkovic to AHL Charlotte where he can continue to get playing time while having Forsberg on the taxi squad as an emergency option. Nedeljkovic drew into four games with the big club last campaign, compiling a 1-2-1 record while posting a 3.06 GAA and .887 save percentage over that span.

Nedeljkovic is with the Hurricanes for the start of Phase 3 training camp, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic saw action in four games for Carolina this season, in which he went 1-2-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .887 save percentage. In the postseason, the 24-year-old netminder is unlikely to log any minutes but should compete for the backup job heading into the 2020-21 campaign.

Nedeljkovic made 28 saves in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
The game was close -- just 2-0 heading into the third before the Canes put up a goal at the 2:55 mark. But Ned's game crumbled in the third, where he allowed two goals in just 26 seconds. Nedeljkovic has had a tough time replicating his strong AHL play in the NHL. Bench him for now -- you don't need to hold your breath every time he's in your net.

Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal during Thursday's clash with the Flyers, NHL.com's Adam Kimelman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic was sharp in his last appearance Saturday against Montreal, stopping 18 of 19 shots after replacing Anton Forsberg in the second period of the contest, but despite his efforts to spur a comeback, he was ultimately saddled with the 4-3 overtime loss. He'll have to play lights out in order to have a shot at picking up the second win of his young NHL career Thursday, as he'll be entering a brutal road matchup with a sizzling-hot Philadelpha team that's won seven straight games.
