Brodeur sets the mark by making 26 saves in the New Jersey Devils' 4-0 victory against the Florida Panthers at Prudential Center in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. His 24th (and final) postseason shutout breaks a tie with Patrick Roy on the NHL's all-time list.

Brodeur also contributes offensively; he is credited with an assist on a goal by Steve Bernier at 2:02 of the third period.

Afterward, Brodeur downplays the record.

"I've played a lot of games," he said. "In the playoffs, there are a lot of tight games. Sometimes you need shutouts to win some of them. I have been fortunate to play on great teams that sacrificed themselves in order to get shutouts. I am a product of that."

The milestone comes 10 years to the day after Brodeur becomes the second goalie in NHL history to make 100 consecutive playoff starts for the same team.

Mikita sets up two second-period goals to break Gordie Howe's single-season record with 21 points. His 15 assists are also a record for one playoff year.
