Raleigh, N.C. — Alex Nedeljokovic got a measure of revenge against his former team.
Nedeljkovic stopped 46 shots Thursday for his third shutout as the Red Wings defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0.
It was the Hurricanes who traded Nedeljkovic, a finalist for the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year) last season, to the Wings last summer rather than risk paying Nedeljkovic more than they felt comfortable with in arbitration.
In return the Wings sent the rights to goaltender Jonathan Bernier (a free agent who didn't sign with Carolina anyway) and a third-round draft choice.
