Brodeur was 14–10 in the postseason with a save percentage of .917, after winning 16 playoff games in the previous eight years. During the off-season of 2012, Brodeur hired agent Pat Brisson, leading many analysts to believe he would test free-agency or retire. However, on July 2, 2012, Brodeur agreed to a two-year, $9 million deal to remain with the Devils, alongside backup goaltender Johan Hedberg.
