Brodeur earned his 100th NHL regular-season shutout with a 27-save performance as the Devils blank the Flyers 3-0 today.Brodeur has 2 shutouts in the last 3 games since returning from injury.It was also Brodeur's 547th career victory, moving Brodeur to within 4 wins of Patrick Roy's league record."It's a big number, it's kind of hard to believe," Brodeur said of his shutout total. "You get to different numbers and at times you think, 'OK, it's just another one.When you get to a round number, it looks more impressive." Brodeur has stopped 46-of-48 shots in 3 games since returning from ingury.He also has 4 shutouts in 13 games this season."Any goalie, that's your dream team in front of you, one that scores goals and is responsible defensively," Brodeur said. "I don't think we are cutting corners in our own zone.
The save of the game was when Brodeur slid across his crease to stop Richards in close after he was set up by Gagne."I was by myself with Brodeur and saw Richie on the corner on the left side. I thought it would be open net for him," Gagne said. "I thought he read the play pretty good and Marty made a great save on that." With the Flyers lose, the Montreal Canadiens will stay within 1 point of the Flyers for the 4th spot in the East. If the Flyers continue to lose and the Canadiens continue to win, the Canadiens would finish in 4th place in the East.
