The show must go on- Ottawa beats Minnesota 4-1
The Wild had to scramble for equipment after most of it was destroyed in a Friday fire. From the AP-
Mike Brodeur made a name for himself Saturday night in his NHL debut for the Ottawa Senators.
No relation to New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur, the rookie goalie carried a shutout into the third period, and Erik Karlsson scored his first career goal, leading Ottawa to a 4-1 win over the Minnesota Wild.
Brodeur stopped 22 shots in his first career start after backing up Brian Elliott for 13 straight games.
Actually this article states Mike and Marty Brodeur are distant relatives.
Just last season Mike Brodeur was toiling for the Rochester Americans, the AHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers. In spite of having a very good season, Ottawa some how came into possession of the Goalie. The Panthers are so cost conscious, I’m at least partially surprised they didn’t bring Brodeur to the NHL this year rather than sign free agent Scott Clemmensen. Brodeur would have been cheaper, and die hard South Florida hockey fans all know how much the Panthers watch their bottom line usually to the detriment of the team’s chances to compete. Just look at how the exchange of Clemmensen for the slightly higher priced Craig Anderson has been working out for Florida this year.
BTW Clemmensen had one of his better games as a Florida Goalie last night. Still the Panthers ended up losing to the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2.
