Brodeur gets No. 552, backstopping Devils past Blackhawks

Hockey Betting Lines

03/17/2009 - Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Brodeur is now the NHL's all-time winningest netminder.

Brodeur made 30 saves to help the New Jersey Devils defeat the Chicago Blackhawks, 3-2, at Prudential Center. The 36-year-old Brodeur notched the 552nd win of his illustrious career to surpass Patrick Roy for the most victories in league history.

Lost in Brodeur's historic night was Patrik Elias becoming New Jersey's all- time leading scorer with an assist on a short-handed goal by Brian Gionta. The helper gave the slick playmaker, who has played his entire career with New Jersey, 702 points, breaking the mark of current Devils assistant coach John MacLean.

Jamie Langenbrunner and Travis Zajac also tallied for New Jersey, which has won four in a row and eight of its last nine overall.

Cam Barker and Dustin Byfuglien found the net for the Blackhawks, who are heading in the opposite direction, having dropped eight of their last 11 games. Nikolai Khabibulin allowed three goals on 30 shots in a losing cause.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

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
