Devils 3 – Senators 2

Martin Brodeur has just been setting record after record this season. He may be the G.O.A.T. and he just set another record last night. He hit the 30 win mark in an NHL-record 12 straight seasons.

“It’s one of the things I set for myself,” he said after the New Jersey Devils’ 3-2 overtime victory against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night. “Thirty games at the end of the year is not a big number, but not that many goalies do it in consecutive years, so it’s nice.

“Now I’ll look forward to try to hit 35 next.”

The way the Devils have been playing lately, it shouldn’t be long before he hits that 35 mark.
