PITTSBURGH (AP) - The 13th season of Martin Brodeur's remarkable NHL career just might turn out to be his best.
Brodeur set a career high with his 12th shutout of the season, stopping 31 shots in the New Jersey Devils' 1-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night. "Some games you have a feeling that there's not going to be many goals scored, just by the way the game is played," said Brodeur, who has twice as many shutouts as anyone in the league. "Tonight I think you could see right from the get-go, everybody had their opportunities but there were no goals.
"We got one early in the second, so we just try to keep it tight. We are used to playing games like that and I thought we played well with the lead."
