 Brodeur had spent his entire 21-year career with the New Jersey
Devils. His contract with the Blues includes performance bonuses,
according to TVA.
The veteran's last start came on April 13 in a 3-2 Devils win over
the Boston Bruins. He appeared in 39 games last season for New
Jersey and posted a 19-14-6 record with a 2.51 goals-against average
and a .901 save percentage.
---NHL legend Gordie Howe suffered another major stroke on Monday
and is intensive care, his son, Mark, told the Detroit Free Press.
The 86-year-old Howe had a series of mini-strokes starting in the
summer and a more severe stroke on Oct. 26, but he had since
regained some movement on his right side before the latest setback.
 Mark Howe was traveling to Lubbock, Texas, where his father was
staying with Howe's daughter, Cathy Purnell.
Purnell told the Associated Press on Tuesday that Howe was stable
and somewhat alert. He was to undergo tests later in the day at a
Lubbock-area hospital.
---The NHL fined the Los Angeles Kings $100,000 for violating the
terms of defenseman Slava Voynov's suspension.
Voynov skated with teammates Tuesday morning during a practice, a
direct contravention of the terms of the Voynov's suspension.
Voynov was suspended Oct. 20. Terms of the suspension allow Voynov
to use club facilities and work with team personnel but prohibit his
participation in any team-related functions or activities.

goals and two assists.
The 29-year-old Letestu has 54 goals and 65 assists in 273 career
NHL games, including 39 goals and 51 assists in 188 games for the
Blue Jackets.
