Nedeljkovic made 17 saves in a 3-2 win over Columbus on Thursday.

Mathieu Olivier beat Nedeljkovic early in the second when he batted in a rebound out of midair. Cole Sillinger finished a 3-on-1 rush at 13:11 of the same frame when he dropped to a knee for a one-timer. Nedeljkovic played a solid game and made things look easy for most of the game. The Pens generally ride the hot hand in net, and Ned may be the guy to get the start in Columbus on Saturday given his performances in three consecutive starts and his two wins in a row.
