Brodeur becomes NHL all-time leader

NEWARK, N.J. — Martin Brodeur stands alone among NHL goal-tenders.

Brodeur posted his 552nd win and passed childhood idol and Hall of Famer Patrick Roy for the most career victories in league history. He made 30 saves in the New Jersey Devils' 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night.

The victory came in Brodeur's 987th game in a 15-year career played entirely with the Devils.

Team USA rallies at Baseball Classic

MIAMI — Hobbled and humbled in the World Baseball Classic, Team USA is still swinging.

David Wright hit a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning to cap a three-run rally Tuesday night, and the injury-plagued Americans qualified for this weekend's semifinals with a 6-5 win over Puerto Rico.

Wright's hit eliminated Puerto Rico from the tournament.

It was an especially sweet victory for the U.S. after Saturday's embarrassment against Puerto Rico that triggered the mercy rule in the seventh inning.
