Nedeljkovic made 33 saves in Thursday's 5-2 win over Detroit.
The final score was convincing, but Carolina actually trailed 2-1 late in the second period, and Nedeljkovic had to come up with some quality saves to keep Detroit's lead from ballooning before the Hurricanes' skaters woke up. The 25-year-old Ohio native has played well recently, holding each of his last four opponents to two goals or fewer, including a shutout of the mighty Lightning.
