Kris Letang will be a game-time decision Tuesday due to illness

The Penguins currently find themselves on a four-game skid so the news that Kris Letang may miss Tuesday due to illness does not come at a good time whatsoever. Letang has struggled early on in 2022-23, posting a -5 plus/minus rating with only four points (0G/4A) through his first nine games.

Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.

Nedeljkovic will be looking to bounce back after a six-goal, 35-save (.854 SV%) loss against the New Jersey Devils his last time out.

Tristian Jarry will start Monday vs. the Oilers

Jarry will put his undefeated record on the line Monday as his Penguins head to Edmonton to take on the Oilers Monday. Fresh off a 29 save (.906 SV%) 6-3 victory over Columbus, Jarry is an early Vezina favourite as he has a 4-0-0 record along with a .941 SV% and 2.02 GAA. He will face an Oilers team looking to score for the first time in two games after getting shutout by the St.Louis Blues 2-0 on Saturday night.

Nedeljkovic will likely start Friday in Chicago.

Nedeljkovic stopped 37 of 39 shots in an impressive 5-2 victory vs New Jersey in his only start of the season. He backed up Ville Husso in the Red Wings' 5-4 overtime loss Monday, the last time the Wings took the ice. They head to Chicago for a very good matchup as they take on a weak Blackhawks team who ranks 29th in the NHL in GF (2.33) and 31st in SOG (23.0).
