"He's played great. Tonight, again. He didn't get tested too much tonight, which was awesome for us, but when he did, he was really good," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "He's definitely putting himself in a good light here."
From Nedeljkovic out, the Canes put forth a dominant performance. The Blue Jackets had just five shots on goal in the first and 12 through two periods. The Canes' penalty kill dispatched three minors. The Canes made plays and were rewarded with two points.
"We were awesome. Top to bottom, start to finish, we were taking it to them," Nedeljkovic said. "You couldn't have drawn it up any better."
