Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: First goalie off Wednesday

Nedeljkovic was the first goalie to exit the ice at morning skate ahead of Wednesday's road clash with the Islanders, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, indicating he'll guard the cage against New York.

Nedeljkovic will be making his 13th straight start for the Penguins, which comes as a bit of a surprise considering the Penguins were eliminated from playoff contention Tuesday. During that 12-game stretch, the 28-year-old backstop went 8-0-3 with a 2.87 GAA .
