Martin Brodeur To Retire, Will Join St. Louis Blues’ Front Office

ST. LOUIS — Martin Brodeur, one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history, is retiring.

Brodeur starred for years with the New Jersey Devils and is now with St. Louis. He plans to have a Thursday news conference to announce that he is retiring and will join the Blues in a management role in hockey operations.

The 42-year-old Brodeur wrapped up a 22-year career with St. Louis after signing as a free agent on Dec. 2. He was 3-3 and his final victory was a 3-0 shutout over the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 29.

The Montreal native was 691-397-176 with a 2.24 goals-against average, .912 save percentage and 125 shutouts in 1,266 career appearances. He holds regular-season NHL records for wins, shutouts, games played and minutes played, and postseason records for starts (204) and shutouts (24).
