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.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
