Nedeljkovic made 18 saves in relief in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He only allowed the OT snipe, which means he takes the loss. Ned is the more talented of the Canes' goaltending duo, but the team will clearly roll with the hot hand while Petr Mrazek and James Reimer are out. Nedeljkovic and Anton Forsberg need to be owned together to keep your team ready to adjust to the prevailing winds in Raleigh.

Nedeljkovic gave up four goals on only 16 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Dallas beat the young netminder three times on seven shots in the first period of his season debut, and while Nedeljkovic wasn't particularly to blame for any of them and bounced back over the final 40 minutes, Carolina couldn't mount a comeback. With Petr Mrazek (concussion) and James Reimer (lower body) both on the shelf with no timetable for their returns, Nedeljkovic will split time in net with Anton Forsberg -- who hasn't seen any NHL action since 2017-18 -- for Carolina.

Nedeljkovic will defend the blue paint during Tuesday's home game versus the Stars, NHL.com's Kurt Dusterberg reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic has been decent in the minors this season, compiling a 15-10-2 record while posting a 2.51 GAA and .905 save percentage in 28 appearances. The 24-year-old American will attempt to secure the third win of his young NHL career in a home matchup with a Dallas club that's gone 17-10-4 on the road this year.

Nedeljkovic was promoted from AHL Charlotte on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After James Reimer (lower body) and Petr Mrazek (upper body) were both injured in Saturday's win over Toronto, the Hurricanes were forced to call up two goalies from the minors. Nedeljkovic has registered a .905 save percentage and 2.51 GAA in 28 AHL contests this season. If Mrazek isn't able to go Tuesday, the 24-year-old may get the starting nod against Dallas.

Nedeljkovic signed a two-year, $1.475 million contract extension with Carolina on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic's deal will turn into a one-way contract ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, so it appears the 'Canes may have found their long-term answer between the pipes. The club will likely allow the 23-year-old to spend another year in the minors developing his game, but that may depend on whether it can re-sign Petr Mrazek and/or Curtis McElhinney.

Nedeljkovic received a qualifying offer from the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2014 second-rounder could be ready to make the move to a full-time NHL role after winning AHL goaltender of the year last season. Regardless of where he ends up this season, retaining Nedeljkovic's rights was an easy decision for the Hurricanes.

Nedeljkovic was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After starting goaltender Petr Mrazek left Game 2 with a lower-body issue, the team elected for reinforcements in the form of Nedeljkovic. The 23-year-old was recently crowned AHL goaltender of the year, recording 34 wins along with a 2.26 GAA and .916 save percentage. If Mrazek can't go Tuesday, expect Nedeljkovic to serve as the back up behind Curtis McElhinney.

Nedeljkovic stopped all 22 shots he faced in AHL Charlotte's 4-0 shutout of Lehigh Valley.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was named AHL Goaltender of the Month in January and his strong play has continued in February and March. His 28 wins lead the league and he is fifth in GAA at a sparkling 2.37. While the duo of Petr Mrazek and Curtis McElhinney have given Carolina better goaltending this season than they could have possibly imagined, that job is going to be Nedeljkovic's before long. The 2014 second-round selection (37th overall) should spend a good portion of the 2019-20 campaign in the NHL.

Nedeljkovic has been named the AHL's Goaltender of the Month for January.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic, who now leads all AHL netminders in wins with 21, posted a perfect 6-0-0 record for the Charlotte Checkers in January, along with two shutouts, a sparkling 1.78 GAA and a save percentage of .937. The 23-year-old netminder also made his first NHL start for the Canes in January, picking up a win over the Canucks on Jan. 23. Looking ahead, Nedeljkovic is going to look awfully good in a Carolina uniform someday -- perhaps as early as next season -- but for now remains No. 3 on the Canes' depth chart behind Petr Mrazek and Curtis McElhinney.

Nedeljkovic made 24 of 26 possible saves versus Vancouver on Wednesday and registered his first NHL victory. Following the game, the netminder was reassigned to AHL Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

With Curtis McElhinney (lower body) still sidelined and Petr Mrazek having played Tuesday, the club opted to give Nedeljkovic a shot between the pipes. The netminder's performance showed why the club took him with the 37th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft. While the Ohio native will likely spend the bulk of the 2018-19 campaign in the minors, he should compete for a spot on the 23-man roster during training camp in the fall.
