Laurent Brossoit News

Brossoit returned last season after nearly a two-year injury absence. The 33-year-old goalie has spent most of his time in the AHL since then, but is trying to make the most of an opportunity with a Ducks team that has struggled between the pipes. In his only game this season, Brossoit saved 20 of 23 shots (.870 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators. The Ducks enter Tuesday's game as -153 road favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team that has scored two or fewer goals in four of their last five (1-4-0).

Brossoit made his return from nearly a two-year absence due to injury last season. The 33-year-old goalie spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, splitting time between the Rockford IceHogs and the San Jose Barracuda. It's unclear if he could get a larger look at the NHL level in 2026-27, but his mere ability to continue playing at a high level is an encouraging sign.

With Yaroslav Askarov returning from an injury, Brossoit will return to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL). The 33-year-old Brossoit played one game for the Sharks during his previous call-up, his first NHL action since the 2023-24 season, but struggled in the outing, allowing six goals on 23 shots (.739 SV%).

Yaroslav Askarov was excellent on Thursday in his return from a multi-week absence due to a lower-body injury, but he only lasted half the game before exiting with a new, unrelated injury and being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic. With Askarov sidelined again, Brossoit will be recalled from the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

With Yarsolav Askarov (lower body) battling an injury, the Sharks have recalled Brossoit from the San Jose Barracuda (AHL). The severity of Askarov's injury is unclear, but Brossoit will likely serve primarily as Alex Nedeljkovic's backup while he is with the Sharks.

The Sharks have added some goaltending depth by acquiring Brossoit from the Chicago Blackhawks. The 32-year-old Brossoit recently returned from a two-year absence due to injury and a 3.38 GAA and .901 SV% in six games (3-3-0) with the Rockford IceHogs (AHL). He has a 2.64 GAA and .911 SV% in 140 career NHL games (64-46-13), but has not played an NHL game since the 2023-24 season.

The 32-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Blackhawks in July 2024 but may never suit up for the team. He already missed the entire 2024-25 season following meniscus surgery in August and arthroscopic surgery in November. On Thursday, GM Kyle Davidson confirmed Brossoit required hip surgery this summer and will be sidelined indefinitely. Chicago is set to open the season with Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom as their goaltending tandem.

The Blackhawks signed Brossoit to a two-year deal worth $6.6 million ($3.3M AAV) in the offseason. The 31-year-old Brossoit has suffered a setback in his return to action after underdoing an additional procedure and will be out of the lineup for approximately six more weeks.

Chicago completed their goaltending tandem on Monday as Laurent Brossoit joined Petr Mrazek in the Blackhawks' goaltending room after signing a two-year deal worth $6.6 million ($3.3M AAV). The 31-year-old solidified himself as one of the NHL's best backups after an incredibly successful first season in Winnipeg, with his 15-5-2 record, 2.00 GAA, .927 SV% and three shutouts.
