Devils goalie Martin Brodeur will finally return from an elbow injury on Thursday night against the Avalanche. "We do something pretty cool playing hockey, so I am excited every game to play," Brodeur said. "But definitely there is a little more emphasis on this. I have not played in a long time and I want to get out there and see how it goes." Brodeur hasn't played since Nov. 1 because of a torn biceps muscle in his left elbow.
