Alex Nedeljkovic
G - Pittsburgh Penguins
Next Game
Eligibility
Availability
Alex Nedeljkovic was solid in net for the Penguins Friday night, stopping 29 of 31 shots faced in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Nedeljkovic has been mostly reliable between the pipes of late, allowing less than three goals in four of his last six starts (3-1-1) for the Penguins. The netminder continues to fight issues with consistency in the crease, but has made the most of his role as the No. 2 goaltender behind Tristan Jarry for head coach Mike Sullivan, carrying a 2.60 GAA and .918 save percentage in 16 appearances (8-3-3) so far this season.
Alex Nedeljkovic was solid in net for the Red Wings Thursday night, stopping 31 of 33 shots faced in a 3-2 win over the Hurricanes Thursday night.
Fantasy Impact
Nedeljkovic has been inconsistent between the pipes of late for the Red Wings, allowing four or more goals in three of his last six starts (2-3-1, .898 save percentage) for the club. The 27-year-old netminder has not been a viable option whatsoever this season for fantasy owners, carrying a 3.69 GAA and .888 save percentage in 13 appearances (4-6-2) in the crease so far this season.
Alex Nedeljkovic has been placed on waivers by the Detroit Red Wings according to Chris Johnston.
Fantasy Impact
Nedeljkovic had struggled mightily in net for the Red Wings behind No. 1 goaltender Ville Husso and was eventually sent down to AHL affiliate Grand Rapids to work on his conditioning. It will be interesting to see if any organization is willing to take a chance on the netminder, carrying an abysmal 4.09 GAA and .880 save percentage in eight starts (2-4-2) in the crease this season with Detroit.
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic is likely to start Monday's game versus the Buffalo Sabres.
Fantasy Impact
Ville Husso started the last two for the Red Wings but Nedeljkovic is projected to make his fourth start of the season Monday. He hasn't been very good across his first three as he brings a 3.96 GAA and .890 Sv% into action, winning just one of those three starts. He doesn't get a great road matchup Monday versus a Sabres team that ranks fifth with 3.63 goals per game on the season.
Alex Nedeljkovic struggled between the pipes for the Red Wings Friday night, allowing four goals on 29 shots faced in a 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Fantasy Impact
Nedeljkovic struggled to withstand a Blackhawks attack that was aggressive from the opening faceoff Friday, posting a disappointing .862 save percentage. The 26-year-old will look to form a formidable tandem in net alongside offseason acquisition Ville Husso as part of a Red Wings team looking to take another step towards a return to postseason glory.
