Alex Nedeljkovic will start Friday in Buffalo.

Nedeljkovic was heroic in his last contest on Sunday, posting a 38-save shutout in a 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Sunday's contest marked Nedeljkovic's first game in over three weeks while he was on the injured reserve with a lower-body injury. If Nedeljkovic can put together some consistent performances, he could see more action between the pipes, as Tristan Jarry has been a workhorse thus far for the Penguins. Nedelkjovic and the Penguins are -114 road favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that was shut out 4-0 by the Penguins on November 11th.

Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) has been reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on a conditioning stint.

Nedeljkovic has not played since October 24th, a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, where he allowed four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%). Nedeljkovic has been on the injured reserve since then with a lower-body injury and, as he approaches his return, will join the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL for a conditioning stint. When Nedeljkovic is deemed ready to return, Magnus Hellberg will likely be sent back down to the AHL.

Nedeljkovic suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's matchup against the Dallas Stars but was able to finish the game. However, he was unable to complete practice with the Penguins on Wednesday and was later placed on the injured reserve late in the afternoon. Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Stars.

Alex Nedeljkovic will start Tuesday vs. Dallas.

Nedeljkovic was sensational in his only start of the season as he stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) in a victory over Calgary and will likely take the crease Tuesday after being the first goalie off the ice. The 27-year-old signed with Pittsburgh during the offseason and will look to add to his 43-38-15 career record with his .907 SV% and 2.95 GAA. He takes on the Dallas Stars, who have collected points in all four games this season (3-0-1) but are 21st in the NHL in goals per game (2.75).

Nedeljkoivc will make his Penguins debut on Saturday.

Nedeljkovic fell into a backup role with the Red Wings last season and went 5-7-2 with a 3.53 GAA and .895 SV% in 15 games (13 starts). This summer he signed with Penguins, where he'll serve as Tristan Jarry's backup. He had a strong pre-season but is far from the goalie we saw in 2021 when he posted a 1.90 GAA and .932 SV%. Nedeljkovic has a sub-par matchup vs. the Flames and should probably be left on the waiver wire until he has a better matchup.

Nedeljkovic stopped eight of nine shots (.889 SV%) and picked up the loss in a relief appearance his last time out vs. St. Louis. The 27-year-old is currently called up on an emergency basis and has struggled greatly with Detroit all season, as shown by his 2-5-2 record, 4.01 GAA and .880 SV%. He will take on the Philadelphia Flyers, who have won three of their last four games but are 30th in the NHL in goals per game 2.68.

The Red Wings have recalled Alex Nedeljkovic from Grand Rapids (AHL) under emergency conditions.

Nedeljkovic was 9-7-2 with a .909 SV% and a 2.89 GAA with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) and has been recalled under emergency conditions to the Red Wings. He previously played nine games with Detroit this season, posting a 2-4-2 record, .880 SV% and 2.89 GAA.

Alex Nedeljkovic has been assigned to Grand Rapids (AHL) on a conditioning loan.

2022-23 has been a nightmare for Nedeljkovic, who has a 2-4-2 record, 4.09 GAA and .880 SV%. He will head back to Grand Rapids (AHL) in hope of refinding his game similar to the .932 SV% he posted in 23 games in 2020-21 which had many people thinking he was the Red Wings' goalie of the future.
