Jeremy never had quite the success his dad had at his age, as Martin Brodeur was the best goalie in the history of the Devils franchise. Martin went on to win three Stanley Cups with the Devils in 1995, 2000 and 2003, and finished his career with a whopping 691 wins, a ridiculously good goals against average of 2.24 and a fabulous save percentage of .912. Martin's number was retired in 2016 and lifted to the rafters of the Prudential Center. Talk about big shoes to fill!
The #NJDevils retired Martin Brodeur's No. 30 on Feb. 9, 2016.
Season tickets for the Comets are now on sale, so fans eager to see the son of a legend in goal better hurry, as tickets are selling quick.
