RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes traded away Alex Nedeljkovic after last season, saying they wanted to upgrade their goaltending.
Nedeljkovic, back in PNC Arena Thursday, graded out very well.
The guy the Canes once called “Ned” was the best player on the ice for the Red Wings, battling his way to a 3-0 win, making 46 saves in his second victory of the season over his former team.
