With a busy week of games ahead, the Checkers have recalled goaltender Callum Booth from the ECHL’s Florida Everblades.

The rookie netminder has joined the Checkers twice prior this season and has appeared in two AHL games. With the Everblades, Booth is 19-6-2 with 2.41 goals-against average that ranks eight in the ECHL.

The move comes after Alex Nedeljkovic missed Saturday’s contest in Syracuse. The good news for Charlotte is that it’s nothing serious ailing the AHL’s wins leader.

“He’s fine, it’s more precaution than anything,” said head coach Mike Vellucci of Nedeljkovic. “We just want to make sure. We have four games this week so we want to get him ready for the weekend.” The Checkers kick off their final home stand of the regular season Tuesday when they host the division-leading Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
