Nedeljkovic will start Tuesday vs. the Stars.

With both Petr Mrazek and James Reimer out with injuries, Nedeljkovic will make his season debut. The 24-year-old netminder was 15-10-2 with a 2.51 GAA and .905 SV% in 28 AHL games. Nedeljkovic has been outstanding in his first two NHL games, stopping 41 of the 43 shots (.953 SV%) that he's faced. His season debut will come against a Stars team that has gone 6-1-1 while scoring 2.88 goals per game in their last eight.

The Lightning have acquired Barclay Goodrow and a 2020 third-round draft pick from the Sharks for a 2020 first-round draft pick and Anthony Greco.

This is a bit of a surprising return for an undrafted 26-year-old with just 24 points (8G / 16A) in 62 games this season. However, he is under contract next season with a very small $925K cap-hit, which is good news for a cap-strapped Lightning team. Goodrow has good size (6-foot-2, 215 lbs) and is a capable penalty killer that really bolsters Tampa Bay's fourth line.

Barclay Goodrow
The Ducks have recalled Kiefer Sherwood from San Diego (AHL).

Sherwood has been called up on a number of occasions this season but has yet to appear in a game with the Ducks. He has played 50 career NHL games to-date and has 23 points (16G / 7A) in 37 AHL games this season. He could replace a potential trade chip like Derek Grant in their last game before the deadline.
