Nedeljkovic didn't start in either of the Sharks' last two games, but he'll return to the crease Thursday. Over his last three starts, he's gone 2-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .932 save percentage. He'll have his hands full against the Stars, who rank fourth in the NHL with 3.29 goals per game this season.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Falls to Philly
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers, with Philadelphia's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Sharks didn't give Nedeljkovic much support at either end of the ice, getting outshot 30-18 on the night. The 29-year-old netminder has just one win in his last seven outings, going 1-4-0 during that stretch with a 3.07 GAA and an .890 save percentage. Yaroslav Askarov (illness) should be back soon enough to resume his duties as San Jose's No. 1 in the crease.

Nedeljkovic is set to face the Flyers on the road Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Nedeljkovic picked up his first win since Nov. 7 on Sunday, allowing just one goal on 29 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Strong performance Sunday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 29 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Nedeljkovic tended one of his strongest games of the season, as he allowed just one goal on a Carolina power play in the first period. With the win, he now has a 4-5-2 record with a 3.01 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. After posting back-to-back seasons with double-digit wins for the Penguins, the 29-year-old netminder is on pace to do the same in his first season with the Sharks. If the Sharks continue their winning ways this season, he could turn in a solid campaign while backing up Yaroslav Askarov, though Nedeljkovic's win Sunday was his first in exactly one month.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic will get the start Sunday against the Hurricanes, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Nedeljkovic has served as more of a backup lately with the impressive run that Yaroslav Askarov has been on, but the former will get a chance to start Sunday. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic is seeking his first win since Nov. 7, as he has lost his last three starts. He carries a 3-5-2 record, 3.19 GAA and .894 save percentage into this game against the Hurricanes, who are fifth in the NHL with 3.41 goals per game.

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

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Yields four goals in loss
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
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 record of 0-3-0 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.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Defending crease in Vegas

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

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

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Between pipes Saturday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic will defend the home cage Saturday versus the Senators, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
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 own a 3-1-1 mark in five games going into Saturday's matchup and have found the back of the net 14 times in that span. Nedeljkovic played against Ottawa with Pittsburgh on Jan. 11 last season in a 5-0 loss. He was shaky in that contest, allowing five goals on 17 shots.

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

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Back with team
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic (personal) was added back onto the 23-man roster Friday.
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.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Sharks placed Nedeljkovic (personal) on non-roster injured reserve Thursday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
Nedeljkovic was slated to start Tuesday, but was replaced by Yaroslav Askarov when a 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.

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

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

Nedeljkovich will get the start Sunday against the Red Wings, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
After beginning the season alternating games with Yaroslav Askarov, Nedeljkovic has sat in four of the last five games. Nedeljkovic will get the start Sunday with the Sharks on the second of a back-to-back. The 29-year-old has won his last two starts, but he will have his hands full with a Red Wings offense that has scored 17 goals in the last four games.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Grabs second win
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
Nedeljkovic had arguably his best start of the season, aided by a three-goal first period for the Sharks. The 29-year-old netminder has won back-to-back outings to improve to 2-2-1 on the year. He still has an unpleasant 3.60 GAA and an .887 save percentage over five outings, and he was recently on the bench for three straight games. Nedeljkovic's fantasy value is already low and will drop some more if Yaroslav Askarov is starting a majority of the time. Both goalies should get a turn in a tough weekend back-to-back as the Sharks host the Avalanche on Saturday and the Red Wings on Sunday.
