Hurricanes rookies impress in shortened season

In a season unlike any other, it would almost make too much sense to have a 25-year-old rookie goaltender emerge as the Carolina Hurricanes’ starting goalie. It would also make perfect sense that the player cleared waivers just a couple months prior to taking over as the starting goaltender, wouldn’t it? Alex Nedeljkovic did just that, finally becoming the player that the Hurricanes had hoped he would become when he was selected 37th overall back in 2014. Nedeljkovic isn’t the only rookie to make an impact on the Hurricanes’ roster this season. In addition, we’ll be looking at Steven Lorentz, Morgan Geekie, and Jake Bean’s impacts on the Hurricanes’ roster.
