Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Falls to Devils in shootout
Nedeljkovic turned aside 19 of 21 shots in regulation and overtime and four of seven shootout attempts in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to New Jersey.
The Devils grabbed a 2-0 lead midway through the second period on Jack Hughes' second goal of the night, but Nedeljkovic was able to shut the door the rest of the way and give the Penguins a chance to force extra time. The 29-year-old goalie found less success in the shootout however, eventually getting beaten glove-side by Timo Meier in the seventh round to end it. Nedeljkovic appears to have a firm grasp of the starting job in the Pittsburgh crease right now, allowing two goals or less in six of seven starts since Jan. 17 and going 4-2-1 with a 1.84 GAA and .936 save percentage.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Picks up first shutout
Nedeljkovic tended his first shutout of the season, stopping all 25 shots he saw in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
Saturday's performance was Nedeljkovic's best of the season and the ninth shutout of his career. The 29-year-old netminder is up to an 11-9-4 record with an .899 save percentage and a 3.02 GAA in 25 appearances. He has excelled as of late with a 4-2-0 record and 172 saves across his last six outings. For the time being, the Penguins have found a direction for their crease and will likely continue to view Nedeljkovic as their top option. His inconsistencies from earlier this season, however, make him a play suited best for deeper leagues. His next opportunity to guard the crease will be Tuesday against New Jersey.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Wins in overtime
Nedeljkovic stopped 27 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over Utah.
Nedeljkovic picked up his third win in five outings. He did a good job to keep the game close, with the Penguins bouncing back from a pair of one-goal deficits before Sidney Crosby finished off the win with a backhand shot in overtime. Nedeljkovic is up to 10-9-4 with a 3.15 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 24 appearances, but he's allowed more than two goals just once in his last five games.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Loses despite stopping 26 shots
Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 28 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.
Nedeljkovic has lost two starts in a row, though to be fair, he wasn't to blame Monday, as he gave up only two goals, and the offense didn't provide him with enough support. Nedeljkovic has been tagged with the loss in three of his last five appearances, going 2-3-0 with a 3.21 GAA and a .904 save percentage in that span.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Between pipes against Sharks
Nedeljkovic will tend the twine on the road versus San Jose on Monday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Nedeljkovic has underwhelmed this season, going 9-8-4 with a 3.26 GAA in 22 appearances. Despite the 29-year-old netminder's struggles, he remains the No. 1 option in Pittsburgh ahead of youngster Joel Blomqvist. Still, if Nedeljkovic can't string together some victories, Blomqvist could get an extended look in order for the team to fully evaluate his abilities.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Leaky in loss
Nedeljkovic stopped 29 of 33 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Ducks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Nedeljkovic allowed a pair of goals in the first and third periods, but the Penguins' offense didn't put up much of a fight. This was just his second loss in his last five games, a span in which he's allowed 15 goals. The 29-year-old's performance has run the gamut lately, which may make him a frustrating goalie to roster in fantasy. He's 9-8-4 with a 3.26 GAA and a .893 save percentage over 22 appearances. The Penguins' road trip continues Saturday in Seattle.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Set to start Thursday
Nedeljkovic is expected to start on the road against Anaheim, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Nedeljkovic has a 9-7-4 record, 3.21 GAA and .893 save percentage in 21 appearances this season. While those numbers are less than flattering, he has won his past two games while turning aside 65 of 68 shots (.956 save percentage). The Ducks are last in goals per game with 2.36.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Excellent in win Monday
Nedeljkovic stopped 25 of 26 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
The 29-year-old netminder had another strong showing and has been playing at a high level of late. Even though he posted a dud in the loss to the Senators on Jan. 11, when he allowed five goals on 17 shots faced, he's posted a save percentage of .930 or higher in three of his last four games, going 3-1-0 with a 3.19 GAA and a .914 save percentage. Those numbers would be even better hadn't it been for the Ottawa loss.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: First goalie off
Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Kings.
Nedeljkovic is in the mix to serve as the Penguins' No. 1 netminder after Tristan Jarry was recently sent down. Nedeljkovic was stellar in Friday's win over Buffalo, turning aside 40 of 42 shots (.952 save percentage. He'll attempt to remain effective against the Kings, who rank 16th in the NHL with 2.98 goals per game.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Makes history Friday
Nedeljkovic stopped 40 of 42 shots, scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
A soft dump-in by the Sabres ended up in the trapezoid, and Nedeljkovic flung the puck toward the empty net from behind his own net. Per Chris Jastrzembski of NHL on TNT, Nedeljkovic is the first goalie to score in the NHL, AHL and ECHL, as well as the first goalie to have a goal and an assist in the same game. On top of the unexpected offense, the 29-year-old was stellar between the pipes, with the 40 saves matching a season high. He's now 8-7-4 with a 3.33 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 20 appearances this season. Nedeljkovic figures to see ample playing time in the near future after the Penguins waived Tristan Jarry following Tuesday's loss to the Kraken. That said, Nedeljkovic has earned a little rest after an unforgettable performance, and it'll likely be Joel Blomqvist's turn in goal against the Capitals on Saturday.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: In goal Friday
Nedeljkovic will get the starting nod on the road against the Sabres on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
It's the Nedeljkovic era for the Penguins now after Tristan Jarry was sent down to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday. On the year, the 29-year-old Nedeljkovic has posted a 7-7-4 record, which goes with career-worst ratios in both GAA (3.40) and save percentage (.886). As such, the Ohio native's hold on the No. 1 job should be considered tenuous as best, as the Pens may want to turn things over to Joel Blomqvist sooner rather than later.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Gets hook Saturday
Nedeljkovic gave up five goals on 17 shots before being replaced by Tristan Jarry midway through the second period of Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Senators.
Nothing went right for Nedeljkovic on the afternoon -- Ottawa's first goal deflected in off Noel Acciari's stick, and two others came after the ref arguably should have blown the play dead. On the other hand, the 29-year-old netminder left his five-hole wide open on a Shane Pinto shorthanded tally late in the first period. Nedeljkovic has started five of the last seven games but hasn't done much with the opportunity, going 2-2-1 with a 3.83 GAA and .884 save percentage as the Penguins continue to search for some stability in net.

Nedeljkovic stopped 40 of 43 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.
The 29-year-old has started in four of the Penguins' last six games, but this was one of his most complete performances of the campaign. The 40 saves represented a season-high mark for Nedeljkovic, who's gone 2-1-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .907 save percentage during the aforementioned four-game stretch.
