Alex Nedeljkovic News

After a back-to-back, the Sharks will turn to Nedeljkovic on Tuesday following a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. Nedeljkovic has only started three of nine games to start the season, but has been more consistent than counterpart Yaroslav Askarov. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic has a solid 2.20 GAA and .920 SV% in three games (2-0-1). Still, the Sharks enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable +179 road underdogs against a Montreal Canadiens team that has scored four or more goals in three straight games (2-1-0).

Yaroslav Askarov's start to the season has been underwhelming, posting an ugly 3.99 GAA and .848 SV% in five games (2-3-0), which makes Nedeljkovic's lack of action this season somewhat surprising. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic was excellent in his only outing this season, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues. The Sharks enter Thursday as +121 road underdogs against a Nashville Predators team that has lost three of its last four (1-3-0).

Sharks Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky rolled with Yaroslav Askarov for the first three games of the season (2-1-0), but Askarov hasn't provided confidence between the pipes, so Warsofsky will turn to Nedeljkovic for the first time on Thursday. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic was a serviceable option when Askarov struggled last season, posting a 2.87 GAA and .896 SV% in 40 games (18-14-4). The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +137 road underdogs against a St. Louis Blues team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).

The Sharks' late-season push for a playoff spot came to an end earlier this week, but they will play for pride on Thursday, turning to Nedeljkovic to tend the twine in their final game of the season. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic was excellent in his previous outing, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators. He posted a solid 2.40 GAA and .906 SV% in his last five games (4-1-0). The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +139 road underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that has been outscored 18-6 in their last three games (0-3-0).

The Sharks have zero margin for error and need heaps of help across the league if they intend on making the postseason, but it begins with Nedeljkovic tending the twine in a must-win game on Monday against the Nashville Predators. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic struggled in his previous game, allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. That said, he has been the more reliable Sharks goalie lately, helping his team record a point in four of his last five outings (3-1-1). The Sharks enter Monday's contest as +129 road underdogs against an equally desperate Predators team vying to stay in playoff contention.

The Sharks need near-perfect in their final six games of the season as they battle for a Wild Card Spot in the Western Conference, and will turn to Nedeljkovic on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic was solid in his previous outing, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. He has helped his team record at least a point in four straight appearances (3-0-1), posting a solid 1.95 GAA and .918 SV%. The Sharks enter Wednesday's contest as slight +103 home underdogs against an Oilers team coming off a 6-5 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth last night.

Nedeljkovic largely struggled through much of March, posting an ugly 3.13 GAA and .877 SV% in 10 games (4-4-2), but will look to build on his most recent outing, a 22-save performance (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as -120 home favourites against a Maple Leafs team coming off an impressive come-from-behind 5-4 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks.

The Sharks enter Tuesday's pivotal contest as +124 road underdogs against a team they are chasing for a Wild Card spot, the Nashville Predators, who are riding a four-game winning streak.
