Alex Nedeljkovic Out Week-To-Week
2 months agoPittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) is considered week-to-week. He suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's preseason game against Detroit, and it looks like it will now take some time before Nedeljkovic is ready to play again. With Nedeljkovic unavailable, we should see a lot of Tristan Jarry to begin the campaign. Meanwhile, Joel Blomqvist is the leading candidate to grab the temporary backup role behind Jarry. The 22-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects and had a strong AHL campaign in 2023-24. Blomqvist posted a 25-12-6 record with a 2.16 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage.
