Detroit — There were some spectacular saves made by Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic in Wednesday's third period, which turned out to be a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
But the way Nedeljkovic explained it afterward, it was almost through a sense of desperation.
“I was kind of caught out of position," Nedeljkovic said of a few of the saves. "So for me really, it was nice to save my own butt,”
Whatever the reason, Nedeljkovic still made the saves, 35 of them in all and 14 in the third period, keying the Wings' victory.
