In a recent outing, Alex Nedeljkovic made a significant return to the ice, stepping in as the Penguins' goaltender after a two-week absence. He faced a barrage of 48 shots from the Columbus Blue Jackets, stopping 45 of them, leading to a 6-3 victory for the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena. This win marked the Penguins’ fifth in six games and improved their season record to 29-32-10. Nedeljkovic's performance was crucial, demonstrating his readiness to reclaim his role amid a competitive stretch in the season, especially as he replaced Tristan Jarry, who had been on a five-game starting streak.
