Nedeljkovic will start Tuesday in New Jersey.

Nedeljkovic will get the rarely heard of back-to-back start as he goes for his fourth win in five appearances in his seventh consecutive start as Tristan Jarry will miss yet another game due to illness. The 28-year-old has been a massive unexpected pickup after starting the season as Pittsburgh's third goalie, with his 13-6-6 record, 2.83 GAA and .907 SV%. He will head to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who have won four of their last six games and have the 12th ranked powerplay in the NHL (22.3%).

Toffoli (illness) will not play against the Kings on Monday.

Toffoli is battling an illness and will be unavailable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. After a hot start with the Jets, Toffoli has struggled to find his place on his new team, being held off the scoresheet during a six-game losing skid.

Nedeljkovic will start in New York on Monday.

In a surprise turn of events, Nedeljkovic will make his fifth-straight start after all when the Penguins take on the Rangers in New York on Monday. Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan confirmed earlier today Tristan Jarry would get the start, only for Nedeljkovic to lead the team out for warmups. It was later reported that Jarry is dealing with an illness. Nedeljkovic owns a .906 SV% and a 12-6-6 record in 29 appearances this season. The Penguins enter action as +162 road underdogs against the league-leading Rangers.

Liljegren (upper body) is out week-to-week but expected to return for the playoffs.

Liljegren was a late scratch on Thursday ahead of game time due to an upper-body injury and is not expected to be out week-to-week but is luckily expected to return before the playoffs. The 24-year-old had been playing exceptionally as of late with six points (1G/5A) in his last seven games while occupying Toronto's top powerplay unit.

Liljegren (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups for Thursday's game against the Capitals.

Liljegren is a surprise scratch for Thursday's game as the team gave no indications of a potential injury prior to warmups. His absence makes way for the return to Giordano (concussion), and Connor Timmins will likely move up to the top power-play unit in his place.

Nedeljkovic will start on Thursday vs. Columbus.

The Penguins snapped a three-game losing skid on Tuesday courtesy of Nedeljkovic and will return to him between the pipes on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nedeljkovic has started three of the last five games for the Penguins, and was especially impressive in his last outing, saving 38 of 39 shots (.974 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Penguins enter action as -224 home favourites.
