2025 Fantasy Outlook
Aside from a historic one-goal, one-assist performance in a Jan. 17 win over the Sabres, Nedeljkovic didn't do anything particularly special in 2024-25. His 14-15-5 record, along with a 3.12 GAA and a .894 save percentage, were slightly worse numbers than his 2023-24 campaign (2.97 GAA, .902 save percentage). He was able to take over as the Penguins' starter during the time Tristan Jarry spent rediscovering his game in the AHL from January to March, but Jarry retook the starting role after the trade deadline. Nedeljkovic is under contract for 2025-26, but the Penguins may also give Joel Blomqvist a longer look in the NHL, though investing in Pittsburgh's crease in fantasy is risky business if the team's defense remains poor.

Signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Penguins in June of 2024.
Acquired for third-round pick
Nedeljkovic was traded to the Sharks from the Penguins on Tuesday in exchange for a 2028 third-round pick.
ANALYSIS
Nedeljkovic figures to step in as the No. 2 option behind Yaroslav Askarov heading into the 2025-26 campaign -- though Askarov is far from a lock for the starting job after going 4-6-2 with a 3.10 GAA in his 13 NHL appearances last year. For his part, Nedeljkovic comes in having gone 14-15-5 with an .894 save percentage and one shutout in 38 outings with Pittsburgh in 2024-25.

2016
Nedeljkovic started 2023-24 as the No. 2 to Tristan Jarry, but seized the starter's reins in late March and never let them go. Ned started the Pens' last 13 games, and the team went 8-1-3 to come within three points of the playoffs. To be fair, Nedeljkovic wasn't spectacular through that span - he made timely saves and gave his team confidence, but he didn't steal games and he was pulled twice in those 13. Ned's GSAx (goals saved above average) - the measure of the goalie's individual impact on the game - was barely above zero on the season. Jarry is the Pens' $5-plus million man who is in year two of a five-year deal, so he'll be given every chance to be the top dog. Nedeljkovic is best suited as a 1B type or a 30-start backup whose ceiling is league average.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking like starter
Nedeljkovic was working in his own net Monday and taking shots from the No. 1 power-play unit, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, with all signs pointing to Nedeljkovic starting on the road versus Calgary on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Nedeljkovic gave up five goals on 36 shots against the Jets on Sunday, his first NHL appearance of the season. Despite a subpar performance, it seems the 28-year-old netminder will be given some leash to work through any problems in his game -- a benefit that hasn't been afford Tristan Jarry. At this point, Nedeljkovic could be considered the No. 1 choice in Pittsburgh, leaving Jarry to battle with Joel Blomqvist for the No. 2 job.
