| For the second time this week, goalie Martin Martin Brodeur posted 40 saves (42 to be exact), working as the top keeper on the day with an amazing performance to lead the Devils to victory at Toronto, 2-1. The man is one of the best the game has known and continues to bring his team through in the tight situations. 42 saves is an outstanding performance for any other goalie on any other night. For Brodeur, it's just another day at the office. |

| X-rays revealed that Philippe Boucher has a slight separation of his right shoulder and will miss the next three weeks, according to the Dallas Morning News. "The day it happened, it was really frustrating – the 'Why me?' and everything," Boucher said. "But I'm better now. It's just another bump in the road. I know the routine, I know what it takes and I'm ready to do what it takes. I want to feel I've accomplished something this year, and there's no better time to do that than the postseason." Most of the season has been a bump for Boucher, who has been limted to just 32 games due to surgery on his other shoulder. He could be back for the end of the regular season. |

| Joffrey Lupul is not ready to get back into game action, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I can't really put a time line on it because I've never really had an injury like this," he said. "It doesn't seem to be healing quickly and that's what they told me to be prepared for. That's the type of injury it is." That's how it is with high-ankle sprains. He's been skating in practice, at least, but you'll need to keep him benched for now. |
