Goalies
Alex Nedeljkovic, PIT @ BUF (6% rostered)
For better or worse, Nedeljkovic is the new starter for the Black and Gold with Tristan Jarry placed on waivers Wednesday. The Penguins have been giving Nedeljkovic a little bit of an extended run, as he had started five of the last seven games. That experiment has not gone well, as Nedeljkovic went 2-2-1 with a 3.83 goals-against average and .884 save percentage in that stretch. Pittsburgh may end a seller at the deadline and could turn to Joel Blomqvist, who has struggled himself, to see if he can provide some stability in net. For today's game, hope that Nedeljkovic stacks some saves against the Sabres.
