Checkers Recap: Charlotte Squeezes Out 1-0 Win over Bridgeport

CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Checkers have strung back-to-back wins together with a 1-0 win Tuesday over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on 1950s Night. Alex Nedeljkovic lead the way with a 19-save shutout. The shutout is Nedeljkovic’s second of the season.

Early in the first period, the game was primarily played in the neutral zone and cycling the puck in each team’s offensive zone without generating much offense. Dennis Robertson was sent to the box just a few minute in but the Checkers were able to kill it. Bridgeport exchanged a power play shortly after when a Checkers forward was taken down on a breakaway.
