Martin Brodeur has already said that he will play next season in the final year of his contract, but he hasn't said that he's done once that year is over.

"Not at all," he said Monday. "It's the last year on my contract and that's about it. This year, even though we didn't make the playoffs, I had a great time playing the game. I really had a good time competing at the level I wanted to compete (at) and if it stays like that and I'm still having fun, who knows that's going to happen? I'm not putting a decision in my mind." Brodeur, who will turn 41 years of age one week from today, posted a 13-9-7 record with a 2.22 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. He even said that he's not opposed to eventually splitting starts with a younger goaltender when the time comes.

Martin Brodeur reiterated Tuesday night, after a 3-2 win over Montreal, that he will return next season and honor the final year of his contract.

"I had a fun year," said Brodeur, who will return for his 20th season already as the NHL's all-time leader in wins and shutouts. "I felt really good playing again. I'm just looking forward to playing a full season next year and see what's that's going to bring us. But I haven't changed my mind. I still have that passion to play the game." The veteran goaltender will turn 41 years of age this May, but he's still shown that he can be depended on to play well when called upon.

This will mark Brodeur's 16th straight start. In his previous 15 starts he is just 4-7-4. He has a fairly tough matchup vs. the Habs and the Devils have nothing to play for so you might want to look at your other options tonight.
