Bottom Line For Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings will take on the St. Louis Blues tonight to finish up a home-and-home series against them. Nedeljkovic was called up a few weeks ago under another emergency situation when Ville Husso was dealing with a minor injury.
It is unsure if that injury Husso has been reaggravated or if something is going on with Magnus Hellberg who played against the Blues on Tuesday night and picked up the win in a shootout 3-2. The Red Wings will need the goaltender depth for their final 14 games of the season.
