It was reported that Nedeljkovic was injured during the game as he was pulled and seen heading down the runway.
Ned gave up four consecutive goals on 25 total shots against the Avalanche as they made their comeback run. March has not been great for Nedlejkovic as he has gone 1-2-1 with a 4.18 GAA and an .843 save percentage over seven appearances.
