Martin Brodeur will be back in New Jersey’s goal tomorrow in Carolina, the club announced today.

Brodeur, who’s been out with a back injury, last played on Feb. 21.

New Jersey has struggled in the 40-year-old’s absence, going 3-8-2 (and falling out of a playoff position) with inconsistent backup Johan Hedberg between the pipes.

The Devils are ninth in the Eastern Conference, tied in points with the sixth-place Hurricanes, seventh-place Leafs and eighth-place Rangers, each of whom have a game in hand on New Jersey.
