Alex Nedeljkovic allowed 5 goals on 18 shots in the Penguins 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday night. Pittsburgh outshot the Canes 36-18 and were much more competitive than the score indicated. Breakdowns and not being able to get a key save from Nedeljkovic doomed the Penguins night. Carolina scored goals on 2 of their first 3 shots and 4 of their first 12 in cruising to their eighth straight win. It marked the fifth game out of eight starts for Nedeljkovic where he posted a save percentage below .885.
