History will be made tonight at the Bell Centre as Patrice Brisebois will play his 1000th NHL game. Oh, and some goalie will try to match a record for most career wins. All kidding aside, tonight is a huge game. New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur (you may have heard of him) will look to tie the NHL record for most career wins set by none other than the Canadiens own Patrick Roy. You couldn’t ask for a better storyline. Brodeur will try to match the record in his hometown, against his favorite childhood team with the current record holder in attendence. Let’s hope the Habs can play spoilers tonight!
