Penguins re-sign Alex Nedeljkovic to two-year $5M deal

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic to a two-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

The Penguins said that the contract carries an annual cap hit of $2.5 million.

Nedeljkovic played in 38 games for the Penguins this past season, going 18-7-7 with a 2.97 goals-against average, .902 save percentage and a shutout.

The 28-year-old saw an increase in playing time during a career-long 10-game point streak down the stretch of last season. He became just the 11th goaltender in Penguins history to record a point streak of 10-plus games.

Nedeljkovic has played seven seasons in the NHL with Pittsburgh, the Carolina Hurricanes and Detroit Red Wings. He’s suited up in 141 regular-season games, going 60-45-22 with a 2.96 goals-against average, a .906 save percentage and eight shutouts.
