San Jose Sharks Secure Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic with Two-Year Deal; Kiefer Sherwood Also Inks Five-Year Extension

The San Jose Sharks made a significant move before the trade deadline, securing goalie Alex Nedeljkovic with a two-year, six-million-dollar contract extension. Nedeljkovic, who was set to hit free agency, chose to stay with the team and pair up with Yaroslav Askarov in net.

Nedeljkovic has had an impressive season, with an eleven-win, nine-loss, two-overtime record in twenty-six games. He has a two-point-eight-three goals-against average and point-nine-zero-two save percentage. In his last seven starts, he won six games, allowing just one-point-nine-nine goals per game and stopping point-nine-three-five of shots.

Over his nine NHL seasons with Carolina, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and now San Jose, Nedeljkovic has an eighty-five-win, sixty-nine-loss, twenty-nine-overtime-loss record, a two-point-nine-seven goals-against average, and point-nine-zero-three save percentage.

In addition to Nedeljkovics extension, the Sharks also signed forward Kiefer Sherwood to a five-year, twenty-eight-point-seven-five-million-dollar deal. Sherwood, who was acquired from Vancouver six weeks ago, has contributed to the teams recent success.

The Sharks have won three games in a row and are now just three points shy of a Western Conference playoff spot as the deadline drama comes to a close.
