Islanders welcome Brodeur, Devils

Mar 27, 2007 - 6:46 PM New Jersey (44-23-8) at Ny Islanders (36-27-12) 7:30 pm EDT

UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- Martin Brodeur has owned the New York Islanders throughout his career.

Brodeur will try to continue his success against the Islanders on Tuesday when the New Jersey Devils visit their Atlantic Division rivals.

A two-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goaltender, Brodeur has five wins, including three shutouts, against the Islanders this season. He owns a 37-17-2 record with a 2.17 goals-against average and 10 shutouts in 62 career games against the Islanders.

Brodeur also is seeking his 44th win of the season, which would break his own franchise record set during the 1997-98 season and matched in 1999-00 and 2005-06.

While Brodeur will be looking for another milestone, the Devils are battling for first place in the Atlantic Division. They have 96 points, tied with Pittsburgh (43-23-10) atop the division.

New Jersey snapped a three-game losing streak with Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over Florida. Jim Dowd scored twice goals and Travis Zajac netted the clincher in the shootout

While the Devils look they are headed toward the playoffs, the Islanders are in a major fight to make it to the postseason. New York has 84 points, tied with Carolina (39-29-8) and Montreal (36-29-10) for the final playoff spot.

The Islanders will be without goaltender Rick DiPietro. Newsday reported that DiPietro is suffering what could be post-concussion syndrome.

The Islanders have earned points in each of their last four contests, going 2-0-2.
