Brodeur ties wins record as Devils stay hot in Montreal

Hockey Betting Lines

03/14/2009 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Brodeur is now tied with Patrick Roy for the most wins in NHL history as his 22-save performance led the New Jersey Devils to a 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

The win came in his native hometown as the 36-year-old Brodeur notched the 551st win of his stellar career to tie Roy, who tallied the bulk of his wins with the Habs and was in attendance for the game.

"I feel great, I'm definitely happy it's over with," said Brodeur. "Coming into Montreal it was hectic with family and press conferences and all."

In addition to the win record, Brodeur is sitting on 100 shutouts and is just three away from tying Terry Sawchuk in that category.

He will have his first shot at the wins record on Tuesday when the Devils host the Blackhawks.

"Hockey is all about winning," said Brodeur. "You jump on to the ice as a group and the record says a lot about the guys I've played with and the organization I've been a part of."

Brian Rolston and Jamie Langenbrunner each lit the lamp for the Devils, who have won seven of their last eight games since Brodeur returned to play on February 26 after sitting out since early November due to shoulder surgery.

Patrik Elias tallied a goal and an assist to give him 701 points in his career, tying John MacLean for first place all-time in Devils franchise history.

Tomas Plekanec scored the lone goal while Jaroslav Halak made 45 saves in the loss for the Canadiens, who have dropped four of their last six games.

New Jersey got on the board at the 5:27 mark of the first period courtesy of a 5-on-3 power play. A right circle faceoff win saw the puck find its way back to the right point where Elias slapped the puck cleanly past Halak.

The Devils made it a 2-0 game with another power-play goal. A dump-in attempt by Niclas Havelid was knocked down, but the puck bounced off the left boards and Rolston blasted it past a surprised Halak.

Montreal, though, got one back at the 12:29 mark of the first as a turnaround shot from Plekanec near the right boards got past Brodeur to make it a 2-1 game.

The middle stanza passed scoreless, but there were plenty of shots on net as Brodeur had to make 11 saves while Halak was peppered with 18 shots, all of which he turned aside.

The Habs were awarded an early power play in the third when Bryce Salvador flipped the puck over the glass after the whistle, which cost him a delay of game call, but Brodeur stood tall and made a couple of nice stops during the man advantage.

The Devils gave themselves and Brodeur some insurance when Travis Zajac threw a pass from the low left boards to the left circle where Langenbrunner one- timed it over the glove of Halak with 7:03 to play.

In all, New Jersey limited Montreal's chances in the third period as the Habs managed just five shots on net, all of which Brodeur turned aside to take his place in history as his teammates flooded the ice and the fans gave him a standing ovation.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
