Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 16 shots in the first period of Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Nedeljkovic was replaced by Calvin Pickard to begin the second period. The Red Wings' offense was able to do enough to get Nedeljkovic off the hook, but a no-decision was about the only positive from an otherwise ugly outing for the 26-year-old. His GAA inflated to 2.89 while his save percentage dipped to .912 through 31 appearances. With Thomas Greiss nearing a return from the COVID-19 protocols, Nedeljkovic may soon be challenged for playing time again. His start Wednesday was his seventh in a row.
