Nedeljkovic will start Tuesday in New Jersey.

Nedeljkovic will get the rarely heard of back-to-back start as he goes for his fourth win in five appearances in his seventh consecutive start as Tristan Jarry will miss yet another game due to illness. The 28-year-old has been a massive unexpected pickup after starting the season as Pittsburgh's third goalie, with his 13-6-6 record, 2.83 GAA and .907 SV%. He will head to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who have won four of their last six games and have the 12th ranked powerplay in the NHL (22.3%).

Nedeljkovic will start in New York on Monday.

In a surprise turn of events, Nedeljkovic will make his fifth-straight start after all when the Penguins take on the Rangers in New York on Monday.

It was later reported that Jarry is dealing with an illness. Nedeljkovic owns a .906 SV% and a 12-6-6 record in 29 appearances this season. The Penguins enter action as +162 road underdogs against the league-leading Rangers.

Despite having an excellent outing on Sunday, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%), Jarry allowed two late goals en route to a 2-1 regulation loss to the Los Angeles Kings and will serve as the backup to Nedeljkovic on Tuesday night.
