Overview

  • San Jose announced the two-year extension at a $3 million average annual value before the trade deadline on Friday.
  • The contract averts unrestricted free agency for Nedeljkovic this summer and maintains the current tandem with Askarov.
  • The first year includes a reported $1 million signing bonus, according to PuckPedia.
  • Nedeljkovic has appeared in 26 games this season, posting an 11-9-2 record with a 2.83 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage, with six wins in his last seven starts.
  • The Sharks acquired him from Pittsburgh last summer for a third-round pick as part of a plan to stabilize the crease while top prospect Joshua Ravensbergen develops.
