The question for the Carolina Hurricanes has always been the goaltending. The offseason was a huge gamble from the front office, bringing in two new goalies. But man, is Frederik Andersen proving how right the move was.
Petr Mrazek and Alex Nedeljkovic were a solid tandem. Not elite, but solid. The trade of Ned in the offseason caused an uproar among Caniacs after witnessing the young goaltender turn in sparkling performances in last year’s playoffs. Mrazek was a fan favorite and the chants of “PETR! PETR! PETR!” echoed frequently inside PNC Arena.
