Next Target: Terry Sawchuk

Now that he is the winningest goalie in NHL history, next on Martin Brodeur's milestone target list is Terry Sawchuk's long standing NHL record 103 career shutouts. Brodeur is just three shutouts away from equaling the great Sawchuk.

Mike Zeisberger recently took a look at the career of Terry Sawchuk.
As a young kid, Sawchuk was forced to strap on the pads and go in net for a team in Winnipeg to replace their previous goalie, who had passed away. The boy who died just happened to be Sawchuk's brother.
Expect a lot of Sawchuk pieces as Brodeur gets closer to the record. With only a dozen games left, it is unlikely Brodeur will break the record this year, so the late-Mr. Sawchuk may get lots of press early next season.
