The Charlotte Checkers are like a ship on calm waters. They’ve navigated well so far and have seen smooth sailing out of the gate while it looks like the Hurricanes have shipwrecked and are looking for a rescue crew. Charlotte enjoyed another successful week, completing a sweep on the Belleville Senators (Ottawa Senators affiliate) and improving to an impressive 8-3-0 start.
Charlotte packed their bags and headed up to Belleville, Ontario for a series with the mini-Sens. In game one, Charlotte thrashed the home team 6-1. Alex Nedeljkovic turned aside 28 of 29 shots and continues to emerge as the frontrunner for the number one spot moving forward.
