Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) has been reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on a conditioning stint.

Nedeljkovic has not played since October 24th, a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, where he allowed four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%). Nedeljkovic has been on the injured reserve since then with a lower-body injury and, as he approaches his return, will join the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL for a conditioning stint. When Nedeljkovic is deemed ready to return, Magnus Hellberg will likely be sent back down to the AHL.

Alex Nedeljkovic will start Tuesday vs. Dallas.

Nedeljkovic was sensational in his only start of the season as he stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) in a victory over Calgary and will likely take the crease Tuesday after being the first goalie off the ice. The 27-year-old signed with Pittsburgh during the offseason and will look to add to his 43-38-15 career record with his .907 SV% and 2.95 GAA. He takes on the Dallas Stars, who have collected points in all four games this season (3-0-1) but are 21st in the NHL in goals per game (2.75).

Nedeljkoivc will make his Penguins debut on Saturday.

Nedeljkovic fell into a backup role with the Red Wings last season and went 5-7-2 with a 3.53 GAA and .895 SV% in 15 games (13 starts). This summer he signed with Penguins, where he'll serve as Tristan Jarry's backup. He had a strong pre-season but is far from the goalie we saw in 2021 when he posted a 1.90 GAA and .932 SV%. Nedeljkovic has a sub-par matchup vs. the Flames and should probably be left on the waiver wire until he has a better matchup.

Alex Nedeljkovic has been assigned to Grand Rapids (AHL) on a conditioning loan.

2022-23 has been a nightmare for Nedeljkovic, who has a 2-4-2 record, 4.09 GAA and .880 SV%. He will head back to Grand Rapids (AHL) in hope of refinding his game similar to the .932 SV% he posted in 23 games in 2020-21 which had many people thinking he was the Red Wings' goalie of the future.
