• Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Out six more weeks

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Per Scott Powers of The Athletic on Friday, Brossoit had another procedure on his knee and will be out of action for six weeks, according to coach Luke Richardson. Brossoit underwent his original surgery Aug. 27 and was in need of another operation. Brossoit has yet to appear in a Chicago uniform this season after signing as an unrestricted free agent July 1. He will battle Petr Mrazek once he is ready to take on a big role. Brossoit was 15-5-2 with a 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 23 regular-season appearances with the Jets last season.

  Per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, Brossoit (knee) will remain out indefinitely, coach Luke Richardson said Saturday. Brossoit underwent surgery Aug. 27, and he was expected to need seven weeks to recover. Richardson said it has taken way longer than initially projected, and there is currently no timetable for his return. Brossoit was expected to share the net with Petr Mrazek, and that could still happen upon his return.

• Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Will miss at least three more games

  10/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brossoit (knee) won't join the Blackhawks before the end of their current road trip, which still includes games in San Jose on Thursday, Los Angeles on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Wednesday. Brossoit hasn't yet played for Chicago in 2024-25. When he is healthy enough to return, Arvid Soderblom might be reassigned to the minors, but it's also possible that the Blackhawks will carry three goaltenders. Either way, Petr Mrazek would likely continue to get the majority of Chicago's starts.

• Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Won't travel with team

  10/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Head coach Luke Richardson said Thursday that Brossoit (knee) won't travel with the Blackhawks for the start of their upcoming road trip, which begins Saturday in Dallas, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. While Brossoit won't be with the team for the start of the road trip, Richardson said that the goalie could join the Blackhawks in San Jose ahead of their Oct. 31 matchup against the Sharks since Chicago will have more practice time at that point. While the 31-year-old appears to be trending toward a return, he still seems to be at least a week or two away from returning to game action.
