ALEX NEDELJKOVIC NEWS

Not great in relief outing Nedeljkovic stopped 15 of 18 shots in relief of Yaroslav Askarov in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact The Capitals didn't take it easy on Nedeljkovic, who was a little better than Askarov. This appearance didn't lead to a decision for Nedeljkovic, who remains at 3-5-2 through 12 appearances. The 29-year-old goalie has added a 3.19 GAA and an .893 save percentage this season, which has seen him settle into a backup role. The Sharks are setting out on a five-game road trip that begins Friday in Dallas, but without a back-to-back set during their travels, it's unclear when Nedeljkovic might next get into a game.

Yields four goals in loss Nedeljkovic stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Nedeljkovic wasn't sharp enough to stop the Golden Knights' flurry of offense in the second period. He did better in the third to keep the game close, but the Sharks couldn't pull even. Nedeljkovic has gone four outings without a win, posting a 0-3-0 record with 12 goals allowed on 96 shots in that span. On the year, he's at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.12 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 11 outings, numbers quite similar to what he did in 38 games with the Penguins in 2024-25. With the Sharks' fortunes starting to sour, Nedeljkovic may get some chances to tend the twine, but Yaroslav Askarov looks to be the clear starter at this point of the season.

Defending crease in Vegas Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal against the Golden Knights on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic will get the second half of San Jose's back-to-back after Yaroslav Askarov played in Friday's 3-2 win over Vancouver. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 3-4-2 record with a 3.02 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Vegas is tied for 19th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this campaign.

Concedes twice in relief Nedeljkovic stopped 21 of 23 shots in relief in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Nedeljkovic had to step into the game in relief after Yaroslav Askarov, who conceded four goals on 19 shots during the first two periods, was pulled. Nedeljkovic has found ways to put up good numbers between the pipes, but he should continue to split the workload with Askarov until further notice. It wouldn't be surprising if Nedeljkovic gets the start against the Canucks on Friday.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Surrenders three goals Saturday Nedeljkovic stopped 24 of 27 shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Impact Nedeljkovic showed solid stretches of play in all three periods, but a late goal from Tim Stutzle would allow the Senators to complete the comeback win. After the loss Saturday, the 29-year-old Nedeljkovic has a 3-4-2 record with a 2.99 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 9 appearances this season. Both he and Yaroslav Askarov have save percentages north of .900 this season, with the latter having a stronger record. However, Nedeljkovic has plenty of time to work the Sharks' goaltending situation closer to a 50-50 split with more outings below three or fewer goals allowed, which he's achieved in each of his past five appearances. For now, Nedeljkovic is best utilized as a matchup-dependent spot start in most fantasy formats.

Between pipes Saturday Nedeljkovic will defend the home cage Saturday versus the Senators, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Nedeljkovic has alternated wins and losses across his last four starts, but he's posted a 2-1-1 record, 1.97 GAA and .932 save percentage during that time. The Senators are 3-1-1 in their last five games and have found the back of the net 14 times in that span. Nedeljkovic's last start against Ottawa came with Pittsburgh last season in a 5-0 loss in early January -- he was shaky in that contest, allowing five goals on 17 shots.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Loses to Kraken Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Nedeljkovic was away from the Sharks for one game to attend to a personal matter. The 29-year-old didn't have his best performance Saturday, but this was just his second defeat in his last five outings. On the year, he's posted a 3-3-2 record with a 2.97 GAA and a .902 save percentage. Yaroslav Askarov has been pretty good lately and may command more than a 50-50 split of the starts going forward, which leaves Nedeljkovic as an option in deeper fantasy formats only if he can't get enough playing time. The Sharks' next game is at home versus the Mammoth, one of four they'll play at the SAP Center in the next week.

NOVEMBER 16 • Associated Press

Starting in Seattle Nedeljkovic will defend the road net against the Kraken on Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact During his last outing, Nedeljkovic made 32 saves in a 2-1 win over Winnipeg on Nov. 7. He has a 3-2-2 record this season while allowing 21 goals on 224 shots. Seattle sits 30th in the league with 2.65 goals per game this campaign.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Back with team Nedeljkovic (personal) was added back onto the 23-man roster Friday.

Impact Nedeljkovic had been on the non-roster list while attending to a personal matter, but he has rejoined the team for Friday's practice session. The 29-year-old backstop is undefeated in regulation over his last four outings, posting a 3-0-1 record and 2.44 GAA, Given how well Yaroslav Askarov has performed of late, going 3-1-0 with a 1.00 GAA in his previous four contests, the duo could be headed for a split share of the goaltending duties.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve The Sharks placed Nedeljkovic (personal) on non-roster injured reserve Thursday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Nedeljkovic was slated to start Tuesday, but was replaced by Jaroslav Askarov when the personal problem came up. Nedeljkovic is 3-2-2 with a 2,96 GAA and a ,906 save percentage over seven appearances this season. The Sharks recalled Jakub Skarek from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to personal matter Nedeljkovic (personal) will be away from the team after Tuesday's game in Minnesota, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic was originally penciled in for the start Tuesday, but the personal matter likely played a part in him instead serving as Yaroslav Askarov's backup. At this time, assume Nedeljkovic will miss at least Thursday's game versus the Flames. It's not clear if he'll be back in time to join the Sharks for Saturday's game in Seattle. With Nedeljkovic away, Gabriel Carriere or Jakub Skarek are the top candidates for a call-up, though it's safe to assume the bulk of the playing time will go to Askarov.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting after all Nedeljkovic won't start Tuesday on the road versus the Wild as previously expected, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, but Yaroslav Askarov led the Sharks onto the ice in warmups. The Sharks have been alternating goalies and this would be Nedeljkovic's usual turn for a start. The 29-year-old netminder was on the ice for warmups as well, so it's not immediately clear why the Sharks changed plans.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Tuesday Nedeljkovic will start on the road Tuesday against the Wild, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Nedeljkovic has played well lately, going 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA and a stellar .948 save percentage across his last three starts. The Ohio native had allowed at least four goals in three of his first four appearances this year, so it's been an excellent turnaround for Nedeljkovic and the Sharks alike. The Wild sit 20th in the league with 2.88 goals per game and are 4-1-0 in their last five games.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in win over Jets Nedeljkovic stopped 32 of 33 shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Nedeljkovic is 2-0-1 with just five goals allowed on 96 shots over his last three games. The 29-year-old goalie limited the damage to a Josh Morrissey tally in the first period, which the Sharks answered just 1:12 later. Nedeljkovic is now 3-2-2 on the year with a 2.96 GAA and a .906 save percentage across seven outings. Should the Sharks continue to alternate goalies, Yaroslav Askarov would get a home matchup Saturday versus the Panthers while Nedeljkovic is lined up for a road game against the Wild on Tuesday.

Slated to start Friday Nedeljkovic was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, and will defend the home goal versus Winnipeg on Friday.

Impact Nedeljkovic is 2-0-1 in his last three starts, giving him a 2-2-2 record with a 3.29 GAA and an .895 save percentage across six starts. He will face the Jets, who are averaging 3.46 goals per game, eighth in the NHL.

Falls in shootout Nedeljkovic allowed two goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Nedeljkovic has ceded some playing time to Yaroslav Askarov recently, though they've split the last four games and may be moving back into an alternating pattern. Nedeljkovic put in a second straight strong effort Sunday, as he's allowed four goals on 62 shots while going 1-0-1 over his last two games. The 29-year-old is at 2-2-2 with a 3.29 GAA and an .895 save percentage over six starts this season. The Sharks' next game is on the road versus the Kraken on Wednesday.
