The Detroit Red Wings have placed goalie Alex Nedeljkovic on waivers. 

Nedeljkovic, who recently returned to the Red Wings following a conditioning stint in the AHL, has only appeared in nine NHL games this season, posting a 2-4-2 record with a 4.09 goals-against average and a .880 save percentage. 

The Red Wings acquired the 27-year-old American from the Carolina Hurricanes in July of 2021. 

Nedeljkovic put together a strong rookie campaign in 2020-21 with the Canes, posting a 15-5-3 record with a 1.90 goals-against average and .932 save percentage with three shutouts. His performance in the pandemic-shortened season earned him a nomination for the Calder Trophy. 

Nedeljkovic is in the final season of a two-year, $6 million contract and will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.  

The Dallas Stars also placed forward Nick Caamano on waivers.
