Laurent Brossoit News

Brossoit was excellent in his last start just over a week ago, saving 42 of 43 shots (.977 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday. Brossoit has had an up-and-down season, posting a 2.65 GAA and .903 SV% through six games (3-2-1), but will have a favourable matchup as the Jets are -200 road favourites against a San Jose Sharks team that scored five or more goals in four straight games (2-1-1).

Workhorse Connor Hellebuyck will have the day off on Tuesday when Laurent Brossoit suits up for the Jets against the Carolina Hurricanes. Brossoit has been serviceable but unspectacular in limited action this season, posting a 2.97 GAA and .877 SV% in five games (2-2-1). He owns a sub-.900 SV% in each of his five games and will be hard-pressed to break that trend on Tuesday as the Jets are +127 home underdogs against the Hurricanes, who have scored four or more goals in five of their last seven contests (5-1-1).

Brossoit will get his first start in four games as he gives Connor Hellebuyck a night off vs. Arizona. The 30-year-old who signed in the offseason after winning a Stanley Cup, has struggled to repeat his success from last season as he is 1-1-1 with a .872 SV% and a 3.25 GAA. He takes on the Arizona Coyotes Saturday, who won their last game and are 14th in the NHL in goals per game.

Brossoit is coming off his first victory of the season, a 20-save performance (.870 SV%) in a 6-3 shellacking of the Nashville Predators on November 9th. As expected, Connor Hellebuyck has been a workhorse for the Jets this season, limiting Brossoit to only three starts thus far, a trend that should continue for the remainder of the season. The Jets, who have won four of their last five (4-1-0) heading into Friday, have a favourable matchup on Saturday against an Arizona Coyotes team that will be without top-six forward Baret Hayton for the next four to six weeks.

Brossoit will tend the twine on Thursday, marking his first action since October 28th. As expected, Connor Hellebuyck has been a workhorse between the pipes for the Jets, limiting Brossoit to only two games thus far. In those two games (0-1-1), Brossoit has a much-to-be-desired 3.38 GAA and .873 SV%. The Jets are -129 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team coming off a 4-2 loss against the Calgary Flames, in which they gave up four unanswered goals.

Brossoit allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Jets' loss to the Golden Knights on October 19th. It was a rough season debut for Brossoit, who will give Connor Hellebuyck a night off on Saturday. Montreal is 21st in xGF/60 (3.02) and the Jets are -147 favourites, making Brossoit a decent spot-start option.

The Jets have been completely inept at keeping the puck out of their net this season and have been outscored 14-10 in only three games (1-2-0). They hope to have their early season defensive struggles solved tonight as Brossoit will suit up against his former team for his first start of the 2023-24 campaign. Last season, as a member of the Vegas Golden Knights, Brossoit played exceptionally, recording a 2.17 GAA and .927 SV% in 11 games (7-0-3). Now on the other side, Brossoit and the Jets find themselves as +101 road underdogs against the Golden Knights.

Brossoit was 7-0-3 with a 2.17 GAA and .927 SV% with Vegas in 2022-23 and has returned to Winnipeg on a one-year contract worth $1.75 million. The 30-year-old net minder was Calgary's sixth round pick (164th overall) in 2011 and has a 49-41-11 record, with a 2.78 GAA and .908 SV% across 117 GP throughout his career.

Brossoit was removed from Game 3 vs. Edmonton after just 11:44 TOI due to a lower-body injury and is considered out indefinitely for the time being and will miss Game 4 Wednesday. The 30-year-old had been decent for the Golden Knights, leading them to a 5-2-0 record, 3.18 GAA and .894 SV% though eight games. Adin Hill filled in for Brossoit after the injury, leading Vegas to a 5-1 victory.

Brossoit was pulled after allowing five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%) through 40 minutes in Game 2, snapping a five-game playoff win streak as Edmonton beat the Golden Knights 5-1 last game. The 30-year-old has picked up wins despite his mediocre stat line, with his 5-2-0 record, 3.13 GAA and .896 SV%. He will hope to slow down Edmonton after their big showing Saturday, who finished the regular season with a historic 32.4% powerplay which led the NHL.

Brossoit stopped 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) to knock out the Winnipeg Jets in Game 5 in his previous start as Vegas took their opening series easily 4-1. The 30-year-old has been great as a starter for the first time in the playoffs, with his 4-1-0 record, .915 SV% and 2.42 GAA. He will hope to keep Vegas' winning ways going to start the series as they take on Edmonton, who finished the regular season first in the NHL in goals (3.96).

Brossoit allowed four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%) but still escaped with his second straight win as the Golden Knights downed the Jets in overtime 5-4 in Game 3. The 30-year-old has been so-so starting for the first time in a playoff series, with his 2-1-0 record, 2.97 GAA and .897 SV%. He will hope to keep Vegas' winning ways going as he takes on the Jets, who were 21st in the NHL in both goals per game (3.0) and shots per game (30.3).
