According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, the Carolina Hurricanes have traded goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic to the Detroit Red Wings. In exchange, the Hurricanes will receive a third round pick, and goaltender Jonathan Bernier per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Nedeljkovic had a very strong rookie campaign with the Hurricanes. The Parma, Ohio native played in 23 games and had a record of 15-5-3 with a 1.90 G.A.A., a .932 save percentage, and three shutouts. He has already agreed to a new contract with the Red Wings worth $3 million per season for two years.
