NEWARK, New Jersey (Ticker) - Martin Brodeur's quest for his500th win will continue when the New Jersey Devils host the NewYork Islanders on Friday.


Brodeur is trying to become just the second goaltender in NHLhistory to reach the 500-win mark. The only goaltender toachieve that feat is former Montreal Canadiens and ColoradoAvalanche netminder Patrick Roy, who retired with 551 wins.

This will be the second time that Brodeur tries to get win No.500 against the Islanders. Brodeur's Devils lost to theIslanders, 2-1, on Saturday, with Miroslav Satan scoring thegame-winning goal in that contest.


The Devils also will welcome back the services of right wingerJamie Langenbrunner, who will play in his second game thisseason following surgery to repair a sports hernia.Langenbrunner scored a pair of goals in a loss to the New YorkRangers on Wednesday. The Islanders come into the game aftersuffering a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursdaynight. The loss is the second consecutive for the Islandersafter falling to the Philadelphia Flyers by the same score onMonday.


After winning four consecutive games at home, New York moved to2-4-0 on the road following the back-to-back losses.
