Final
Brodeur, Devils in search of home-and-home sweep of Hurricanes
Mar 17, 2007 - 2:51 PM Carolina (35-29-8) at New Jersey (43-20-8) 1:00 pm ESTEAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- For more than a decade, Martin Brodeur has been extremely reliable for the New Jersey Devils.
Brodeur looks to lead the Devils to their fourth victory in five games when they try to complete a sweep of a home-and-home series with the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
A two-time Vezina Trophy winner and a member of all three of New Jersey's Stanley Cup title teams, Brodeur needed to make 22 saves in the third period to preserve the Devils' 3-2 win over the Hurricanes on Thursday.
The second-winningest goaltender in league history (488), Brodeur is the only netminder with six 40-win seasons in his career. He is 42-19-7 this season and is one victory shy of tying a career high set in 1997-1998 and equaled last season.
Scott Gomez had a goal and an assist and Jamie Langenbrunner set up two others after being paired on an improvised line with Erik Rasmussen.
New Jersey trails the Buffalo Sabres (46-19-6) by four points for the top spot in the Eastern Conference and is four in front of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Atlantic Division race.
The defending Cup champion, Carolina has dropped five of its last eight games and remains in a tight race to return to the postseason.
The Hurricanes are in a seventh-place tie with the New York Islanders (34-26-10) in the East, one point in front of the New York Rangers (34-28-9) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (34-29-9).
Andrew Ladd scored his ninth goal and David Tanabe added his second for Carolina in the last matchup against New Jersey.
