Martin Brodeur will make his first start with the St. Louis Blues Thursday night, coach Ken Hitchcock told reporters on Wednesday.
Brodeur, 42, signed a one-year contract with the Blues on Tuesday to provide depth in net after goaltender Brian Elliott suffered a lower-body injury last week.
He will become the eighth goalie in NHL history to start a game past his 42nd birthday.
St. Louis wraps up the back end of their back-to-back Thursday night in Nasvhille. The Blues fell 4-1 to the Chicago Blackhawks Wednesday night.
