As expected, the Carolina Hurricanes recalled goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic from the AHL Charlotte Checkers on Monday, a day after Petr Mrazek left the Canes’ 2-1 Game 2 win over the New York Islanders with what appeared to be a groin injury.
Coach Rod Brind’Amour said after the game that Mrazek’s injury was similar to the one that sidelined him for a few games in November, at a time when Curtis McElhinney went on a run of form that kept him in the starter’s job for the next month or so.
