The Sharks acquired goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic to work alongside rookie Yaroslav Askarov. The coaching staff has prior familiarity with Nedeljkovic, as he played for the Charlotte Checkers when San Jose's Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky was there. Last season, Nedeljkovic split starts with Tristan Jarry and Joel Blomqvist, appearing in 38 games, with a record of 14-15-5 and a goals against average of 3.12, alongside a save percentage of .894. The Sharks' search for a suitable goaltender included other options but ultimately focused on Nedeljkovic due to familiarity and previous experience.
Nedeljkovic finished with a 14-15-5 record, a 3.12 goals against average and a .894 save percentage, better than the competing goaltender's statistics.
The Sharks needed a goaltender to work tandem with Yaroslav Askarov, who is expected to begin his rookie season with the Sharks this upcoming season.
