Martin Brodeur had played in 40 regular-season games at Madison Square Garden but never posted a regular-season shutout there until his shootout win on Tuesday night, after the Devils and Rangers played to a goalless deadlock for 65 minutes. Brodeur's only previous MSG shutout came in Game 3 of the Devils' first-round sweep in the 2006 playoffs. With the Garden finally on Brodeur's regular-season shutout list, the only building, past or present, in which he's made at least ten starts but never had a regular-season shutout is Miami Arena, the former home of the Florida Panthers (11 starts).

The Rangers outshot the Devils, 51-45, through 65 goalless minutes on Tuesday night. New York's 51 shots on goal were the most ever against Martin Brodeur in one game, regular-season or playoffs. His previous highs were 48 shots in a regular-season game (twice) and 50 in the postseason (twice, both multiple-overtime games). Brodeur had only two previous shutouts in which he faced even 40 shots on goal: one in the regular season (40 at Boston in January 1999) and one in the playoffs (44 vs. Carolina in April 2009).

The 96 shots on goal smashed the old mark for combined shots in a goalless game since the NHL began compiling shots on goal as an official statistic more than 50 years ago. The previous high was 75, in a Boston-Montreal game in December 1968 and a Florida-Montreal game in November 2006.
