Brodeur, Devils look to bounce back vs. Flames

Mar 10, 2009 - 1:43 PM Calgary (39-21-6) at New Jersey (42-20-3), 7:00 p.m. EDT

NEWARK, New Jersey (Ticker) -- Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils look to bounce back from one of their worst performances of the season when they host the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.

A four-time Vezina Trophy winner, Brodeur is three wins from tying Hall of Fame netminder Patrick Roy's all-time record of 551. The 36-year-old Brodeur also needs three shutouts to pull even with Terry Sawchuk's all-time mark of 103.

Brodeur's record chase was put on hold during Saturday's 7-3 drubbing at the hands of the lowly New York Islanders. He surrendered six goals before being pulled at the end of the second period for Kevin Weekes.

The Devils had won four in a row and nine of 11 before suffering their worst defensive outing of the campaign.

Calgary, which is in third place in the crowded Western Conference, has dropped two in a row - including Sunday's 5-2 setback to the Atlanta Thrashers. The Flames have been outscored, 11-3, in their last two contests.
