Martin Brodeur tied Patrick Roy’s NHL record for playoff shutouts, making 44 saves in New Jersey’s 1-0 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night that moved the Devils within a win of advancing to the second round.

David Clarkson scored a rare power-play goal in helping Brodeur post his 23rd postseason shutout and win a great goaltending duel with Cam Ward, who stopped 41 shots.

With a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, New Jersey can eliminate the Hurricanes on Sunday in Carolina. If a seventh game is necessary, it would be here Tuesday night.
