Nedeljkovic stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough loss for Nedeljkovic, as both goals he gave up in regulation came on Florida power plays, while the two pucks that beat him in the shootout were perfectly placed just inside a post by Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart. Nedeljkovic has made five appearances in January, going 2-1-1 with a 2.90 GAA and .901 save percentage, which are identical ratios to Tristan Jarry (1-3-2) in seven outings this month. Should one of the two netminders heat up after the All-Star break, the Penguins' No. 1 job would seem to be there for the taking.
