Tuesday Recap: Dynamite debut

Tuesday December 8, 2015

Carolina Hurricanes prospect Alex Nedeljkovic dazzled in his Niagara IceDogs debut on Tuesday, making 44 saves in a 2-1 road victory over the Peterborough Petes.

Nedeljkovic limited the Petes to just one goal as blueliner Dominik Masin’s first period marker launched the teddy bears from their seats before third period markers from Johnny Corneil and Ben Jones saw the Dogs come away with two points.

The Niagara win came in one of two Tuesday night conests.
