Nedeljkovic stopped all but one of the 15 shots he faced en route to a 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The American backstop played for the first two periods of the game and impressed during his 40 minutes cameo. With Scott Darling and Cam Ward set to serve as Carolina's top-two goaltenders in 2017-18, Nedeljkovic won't get many opportunities to perform at the NHL level, but he certainly has the potential to one day become an NHL starter.

Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod for Tuesday night's preseason matchup with the Lightning, Michael Smith of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic will get the chance to start after a strong showing in Carolina's first preseason contest against Buffalo on Monday -- he saved all 14 shots he faced in the 20+ minutes he played and emerged with the win in overtime. While the young keeper is unlikely to beat our Cam Ward for backup duties behind Scott Darling to start the season, another strong showing could keep him at the top of the replacement list should one of the two get injured.

Nedeljkovic has been reassigned to the ECHL's Florida Everblades.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old backstop was called up on an emergency basis when Eddie Lack went down with an injury. Nedeljkovic did not clock any ice time in this stint. With Lack still sitting out with a neck injury, it is unclear who will back up Cam Ward for the next few games.

Nedeljkovic was recalled from the minors Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old backstop heads to the parent club on the heels of Eddie Lack sustaining an injury upon colliding with Andreas Athanasiou on the final play of Monday's overtime loss to the Red Wings. Nedeljkovic has played in three different organizational levels this season, but none more than AHL Charlotte, recording an 8-14-0 record, 3.40 GAA and .881 save percentage. With numbers like that, it's clear that the American-born backstop needs more polish on his game.

Nedeljkovic was sent to AHL Charlotte on Thursday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic played well against a tough Columbus offense Tuesday in his NHL debut, but that won't be enough to keep him around to remain Cam Ward's backup. Instead, Michael Leighton has been recalled to fill that void.

Nedeljkovic made his NHL debut in relief of Cam Ward on Tuesday, stopping all 17 shots he faced in a 4-1 loss to Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Ward struggled, but the 21-year-old backup shined in his first taste of NHL action despite being in tough against the league's No. 3 offense. That said, Nedeljkovic has struggled to live up to his pedigree as a 2014 second-round pick, as he has just an .884 save percentage in 18 AHL contests this year and doesn't have an impressive recent history in either juniors or the minors; if anything, he's regressed significantly since delivering promising work in his first two junior seasons. There's still some long-term appeal here, but this one outing shouldn't get you too excited about the Ohioan netminder's current fantasy value.

Nedeljkovic was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fellow goaltender Michael Leighton was sent down in a corresponding move. The 21-year-old Ohio native will be looking to make his NHL debut while backup Eddie Lack (concussion) remains sidelined, but there's no guarantee he'll get the nod ahead of veteran starter Cam Ward. Nedeljkovic has had what amounts to a pretty brutal start to his AHL career, however, as he's recorded a 5-12-0 record with a disastrous .884 save percentage and 3.30 GAA.

Nedeljkovic was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
While it was probably a good experience for Nedeljkovic to shadow NHL talent upon his latest call-up, he has yet to make his NHL debut and still has to prove his worth in the minors. In 13 AHL games, Carolina's second-round (37th) overall pick of the 2014 draft owns a 3-10-0 record with an equally poor .873 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hurricanes have made a trend out of sampling their goalie prospects, as Nedeljkovic and Daniel Altshuller have each been exposed to the NHL in the past week. Nedeljkovic's 3-10-0 record and 3.56 GAA in the AHL this season suggests that he's nothing more than an emergency option at this juncture.

Nedeljkovic stopped 32 of 34 shots in OHL Niagara's 3-2 overtime Game 3 win over Kingston on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic's heroics combined with an OT winner for Dallas prospect Aaron Haydon helped the Ice Dogs take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. In his first playoff games in more than two years , Nedeljkovic is now 7-1 with a 2.64 GAA and .908 save percentage. He will be turning pro next fall and the goaltending situation in Carolina is so dreadful these days that it is not out of the realm of possibility that Nedeljkovic could see some time in the NHL next season.
