Martin Brodeur sets another record

New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur couldn’t think about becoming the NHL’s all-time minutes leader once the clock was turned off. He had a little extra work to do.

Jamie Langenbrunner and Zach Parise scored shootout goals to make Brodeur a winner on the day he broke the record in the visiting Devils’ 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Friday afternoon.

Brodeur surpassed Hall of Famer Patrick Roy for the most minutes played after the puck was dropped to open the third. The 37-year-old Brodeur now has 60,280. Roy played 60,235.

After sending the game to overtime with a stop on Marc Savard’s wrister from the slot in the closing seconds of regulation, Brodeur made a left pad save on Patrice Bergeron and cut down the angle with a pad stop on David Krejci in the shootout.

“I totally forgot about it until they put it on the scoreboard. I knew it coming into the game; a lot of people brought it to my attention,” Brodeur said. “[Records] are nice. Now this one’s over, and we’ll move on and try and get another one somehow.”

The PA announcer acknowledged Brodeur becoming the all-time minutes leader during a stoppage before a faceoff 2:56 into the second period. The announcement continued as play began in the Devils’ zone.
