Martin Brodeur, the New Jersey Devils goaltender, set a new record on Friday. During the Devils’ 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins, the 37-year old became the NHL’s all-time leader in career minutes played.

The previous record of 60,235 minutes played was held by Hall of Famer, Patrick Roy. Brodeur only needed 20 minutes to tie the record, and he surpassed the record several minutes into the second period. The NHL’s top goaltender has now played for 60,280 minutes while the previous 25 goalies in Devils’ history have only played for a combined total of 67,264 minutes.

The Bruins tied the game early in the 3rd period to bring the score to 1-1, which took away Brodeur’s hope in tying the record for career shut outs on the same night. Brodeur sent the game into overtime by saving a goal from the Bruin’s Marc Savard with just four seconds left of the game on a point-blank shot. Jamie Langenbrunner and Zach Parise made goals for the Devils to take the victory. This season, the Devils are now 4-1 in shootouts.

The New Jersey Devils will play their next game against the New York Islanders on Saturday, November 28.
