Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Hangs on for OT win
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic turned aside 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Montreal grabbed a 3-1 lead with about six minutes left in the second period but Nedeljkovic shut the door the rest of the way, making 11 saves in the third period alone as the Sharks rallied to tie it up. His efforts were rewarded when Macklin Celebrini wired home a one-timer in OT. Nedeljkovic has yet to take a regulation loss this season as he pushes for at least a timeshare with Yaroslav Askarov in the San Jose crease, going 3-0-1 in four starts with a 2.37 GAA and .917 save percentage. Remarkably, all four of Nedeljkovic's outings have been decided in overtime or a shootout.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Allows three goals Saturday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
Nedeljkovic carried a 3-1 lead into the third period but couldn't protect it, allowing Detroit to score twice before ultimately falling in the shootout. This was the first time he posted a single-game save percentage below the .900 mark, but nonetheless, he's enjoying a strong start to the season. With San Jose continuing to rotate its goaltending options, Nedeljkovic's fantasy value remains tied to his ability to earn starts and deliver consistent performances. Through three appearances, he's gone 2-0-1 with a 2.20 GAA and a .920 save percentage.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Makes 32 saves in shootout win
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 32 of 34 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.
Nedeljkovic has been limited to just two appearances this season as the Sharks' No. 2 goaltender behind Yaroslav Askarov, but he's looked impressive overall and has notched 56 saves on 60 shots faced -- good for a 1.90 GAA and .933 save percentage. His role as Askarov's backup limits his fantasy upside, but there's no question he's stepped up when called upon. This strong start to the season could lead to more playing time in the future.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Defending road crease Thursday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic will start Thursday's road game against Nashville, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Nedeljkovic has seen limited playing time early in the 2026-27 campaign, as he started just one of the Sharks' first six games of the year. He was effective during his previous start, turning aside 24 of 26 shots (.923 save percentage) during an overtime win over the Blues on the road. Nedeljkovic made a pair of road starts against the Predators last year, going 1-1-0 with a 4.00 GAA and .830 save percentage.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Secures overtime win
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
Nedeljkovic put in a solid performance in his first start of the season. The Sharks did their part, twice coming back from one-goal deficits before Darnell Nurse tallied in overtime. Nedeljkovic has functioned as Yaroslav Askarov's backup to begin 2026-27, but the two worked in a timeshare at various points in 2025-26. If Nedeljkovic's play remains strong, he could carve out more time. The Sharks have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Oilers on Saturday.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Making season debut Thursday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal in Thursday's contest against the Blues, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Nedeljkovic will lead the Sharks onto the ice for the first time this season after dealing with an illness leading into Opening Night. He's backed up Yaroslav Askarov in all three contests thus far. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic had a solid first season with San Jose in 2025-26, where he posted an 18-14-4 record, a 2.87 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 40 regular-season outings. If he impresses in his season debut in Thursday's outing against the Blues, the veteran netminder could be in line for more opportunities moving forward with Askarov's shaky start to the campaign.

Nedeljkovic had an 18-14-4 record, 2.87 GAA and .896 save percentage in 40 regular-season appearances with San Jose in 2025-26.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Strong showing in season finale
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic turned aside 25 of 26 shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.
Nedeljkovic ended the 2025-26 campaign on the right foot, allowing just one early goal before keeping the Jets off the scoresheet for the final 56 minutes of Thursday's contest. With the win, the 30-year-old netminder finished the season with an 18-14-4 record, a 2.87 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 40 appearances this season. While his first season in San Jose had its ups and downs, he played some of his best hockey down the stretch with a 5-1-0 record, a 2.17 GAA and a .915 save percentage over his final six outings. He will likely compete with Yaroslav Askarov for the starting job next season, but Nedeljkovic will likely receive enough chances in net to remain fantasy relevant in various deep leagues.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Not up to challenge Wednesday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 21 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.
Nedeljkovic didn't get a lot of help in this one. The Sharks committed three penalties, and the Oilers' power play cashed in each time, which was the difference in the game. Nedeljkovic had won his last three games before this loss, which dropped him to 16-14-4 with a 2.95 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 38 appearances. He's been a little better than Yaroslav Askarov lately, but Askarov is likely to get the nod in a critical matchup versus the Ducks on Thursday. The Sharks are three points back of the Predators for the last wild-card spot after this loss, but they still have a game in hand.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Makes 27 saves in win
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 27 of 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
The 30-year-old goaltender is putting up solid numbers to close out the regular season, and he's won his last three starts while Yaroslav Askarov has been struggling. Thus, it's not surprising to see both goaltenders splitting the workload with San Jose still alive in the playoff race. During his three-game winning run, Nedeljkovic has posted a 1.67 GAA and an impressive .932 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic has struggled in his most recent outings, going 1-4-1 with a 3.97 GAA across his last six appearances. With Yaroslav Askarov back to 100 percent, the 30-year-old Nedeljkovic could see his opportunities dwindle down the stretch, especially if the Sharks find themselves in the mix for a wild-card spot.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Back in win column Saturday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic turned aside 22 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The Sharks were down 2-1 heading into the third period, but Nedeljkovic shut the door on the home side and gave his offense a chance to mount a comeback. In the process, the veteran netminder snapped a winless stretch in which he had gone 0-4-1 in five outings with a brutal 4.40 GAA and .818 save percentage. With Yaroslav Askarov (upper body) sidelined again, however, Nedeljkovic will be San Jose's top option between the pipes in the short term as the team pushes for a playoff spot.
