2009: Martin Brodeur becomes the winningest goalie in NHL history, but not without a scare.

Brodeur makes 30 saves, including one in the final seconds on Troy Brouwer, to help the New Jersey Devils hold off the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 at Prudential Center, It's his 552nd NHL win, moving him past Patrick Roy for first place on the all-time list.

When the game ends, Brodeur is surrounded by teammates in a Stanley Cup-like celebration; however, instead of raising the Cup, he takes out a pair of scissors and cuts the net.

"It was an exciting night," Brodeur says. "I'm happy that it's done and over with."

The win comes in Brodeur's 987th NHL game, all with New Jersey.
