Nedeljkovic will start Friday vs. Florida.

After taking the reigns on the Penguins' crease for most of December, Nedeljkovic will start on Friday for the first time in six games. Nedeljkovic has been serviceable this season, posting a 2.66 GAA and .916 SV% in 15 games (8-3-2), but allowed three goals on nine shots (.667 SV%) before being pulled in his last outing, a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on January 11th. The Penguins are +116 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers club that has outscored their opposition 10-3 in their last two games (2-0-0).

Jarry will start in Arizona on Monday.

Jarry will get the nod for the fifth consecutive game on Monday when the Penguins travel to Tempe to take on the Coyotes. Jarry took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 29 shots enroute to a 3-2 defeat in Vegas on Saturday. It was the fifth defeat Jarry's suffered in his last six starts, despite posting a respectable .910 SV% across that span. He's got a good chance of getting back in the win column on Monday with the Penguins being -150 favourites at Mullett Arena.

Karlsson (illness) missed practice Friday and is hopeful to play Saturday vs. Vegas.

Karlsson was the only surprise absent player at Pittsburgh's practice Friday as he missed it due to illness and will hope to be good to go for Saturday as the Penguins head to Vegas. The 33-year-old was acquired by Pittsburgh in a blockbuster deal during the offseason after winning the Norris Trophy in 2022-23 and has a decent seven goals, 31 points, 102 SOG, 24 PIMs and +10 plus/minus through 42 games played.

Bemstrom appears to be a healthy scratch Friday vs. New Jersey.

Bemstrom has been a regular in the lineup for the Blue Jackets over the last month, but he will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the New Jersey Devils. He has been limited to one point (1G / 0A) in his last seven games but has three or more shots in three of his last four outings.
