It would be hard to top Martin Brodeur's performance the other night when he won his 552nd career win in a 2-1 win against the Chicago Blackhawks last tuesday, but Brodeur is still in the hunt to beat Terry Sawchuk's career shutout record of 103. The mark was thought to be impossible to approach, but that was before Brodeur began his career. Now the previously untouchable record is tantalizingly within reach of Brodeur as his New Jersey Devils blanked the Minnesota Wild 4-0.
This was Brodeur's 5th shutout of the season and the 3rd since he returned from injury. Since coming back from a 50 game layoff due to injury, Martin Brodeur has gone 9-1 with 3 shutouts and has helped the Devils as they try for the lead in the Eastern Conference. It is doubtful that Brodeur will be able to get 2 more shutouts in the next 11 games remaining in the season, but don't count the 36 year old goalie just yet.
