Brodeur missed 50 games following surgery to repair a torn left biceps.
"It's a big number, it's kind of hard to believe," Brodeur said of his shutout total. "You get to different numbers and at times you think, 'OK, it's just another one.' When you get to a round number, it looks more impressive."
Brodeur, 36, has been very impressive in his return, winning three times in four days.
"This is as good as it gets," he said.
