Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Might return during road trip
Laurent Brossoit (knee) might return midway through Chicago's season-opening road trip, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday.The Chicago Blackhawks are set to play Tuesday in Utah, Oct. 11 in Winnipeg, Oct. 12 in Edmonton and Oct. 15 in Calgary before making their home debut Oct. 17 against the Sharks. Brossoit had a 15-5-2 record, 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage in 23 regular-season contests with Winnipeg in 2023-24. When he's healthy, Brossoit will fight with Petr Mrazek for starts, but because Brossoit isn't expected to be available for Opening Night, Arvid Soderblom is likely to enter the season as Chicago's No. 2 netminder behind Mrazek. Once Brossoit is healthy, Soderblom might be sent to the minors, but it's also possible Chicago will opt to carry three goaltenders.

Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Could miss start of season
Laurent Brossoit underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair the meniscus in his right knee, according to Tracey Myers of NHL.com.Fresh off of signing a two-year, $6.6 million contract with Chicago in July, Brossoit will likely miss training camp with the potential of starting the season on the shelf. This news comes as a surprise, so Brossoit's recovery will be something to monitor as the season approaches. The 31-year-old has been one of the more capable NHL backup netminders over the last few years, so it's possible he could challenge Petr Mrazek for the starting gig when healthy. Brossoit went 15-5-2 with a .927 save percentage and a 2.00 GAA with Winnipeg in 2023-24.
