Outside of a poor first game by the New Jersey Devils, Martin Brodeur had a good February - until he got hurt. He allowed 18 goals and this review delves into how many came in high and how many were soft among other observations.
Marek Zidlicky shot the puck a lot in 2013, leading the Devils defensemen in shots and attempts as well as finishing second among all skaters in attempts. He fired away so often that it may be not so odd that the Devils want to keep him.
