Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Out six more weeks
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.

Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: No timetable for return
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
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
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.

Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Opening season injured
Brossoit (knee) was placed on season-opening injured reserve Friday, Mario Tirabassi of CHGO Sports reports.
Brossoit will carry a reduced cap hit while on season-opening IR. The 31-year-old is expected to return some time during the Blackhawks' four-game road trip to begin the campaign. Arvid Soderblom is likely to make the initial roster, but he'll likely head to AHL Rockford once Brossoit is activated.

Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Might return during road trip
Brossoit (knee) might return midway through Chicago's season-opening road trip, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday.
The 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: Out for roughly four weeks
Brossoit (knee) will be out of action for about four weeks Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports Friday.
Brossoit could be back a little before the four-week mark, according to general manager Kyle Davidson. The netminder inked a two-year contract with Chicago in the summer after spending the 2023-24 campaign as the backup in Winnipeg to Connor Hellebuyck. Brossoit posted a solid 15-5-2 record with a 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 23 regular-season outings. Once healthy, he will battle Petr Mrazek for the No. 1 job with the Blackhawks in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Could miss start of season
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.

Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Heading to Windy City
Brossoit signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract with the Blackhawks on Monday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Brossoit had a 15-5-2 record, 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage in 23 regular-season contests with Winnipeg in 2023-24. He'll likely serve as the backup goaltender behind Petr Mrazek, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Brossoit play significantly more in Chicago than he did in Winnipeg. Meanwhile, Arvid Soderblom, who logged 32 games with the Blackhawks last season, will probably begin the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Provides relief appearance
Brossoit was thrust into duty Sunday when starter Connor Hellebuyck was pulled at the end of the second period. He made four saves in relief as the Jets fell 5-1 to the Avalanche in Game 4.
Hellebuyck was pulled in the second period after allowing four goals, so Brossoit took over between the pipes and turned aside all four shots sent his way. The Avalanche added an empty-netter with only 13 seconds left in the game. This was Brossoit's first appearance in the playoffs. Look for Winnipeg to return to Hellebuyck when the Jets host Colorado in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Collects win No. 15
Brossoit made 18 saves in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.
The 31-year-old netminder shut Vancouver down completely in the third period as Winnipeg broke open a 2-2 tie. Brossoit finishes the regular season with the best numbers of his career, going 15-5-2 with a 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage over 23 outings to claim a share of the Jennings Trophy for the league's stingiest goaltending, but he'll head to the bench for the playoffs as Connor Hellebuyck gets ready to face the Avalanche in the first round beginning Sunday.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Expected starter
Brossoit is set to start at home against the Canucks on Thursday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Brossoit earned a 24-save shutout victory over Dallas in his last start last Thursday. He's been a superb backup goaltender for the Jets, posting a 14-5-2 record, 2.00 GAA and .928 save percentage across 22 contests this season. The Canucks are typically a difficult adversary, ranking sixth offensively with 3.42 goals per game, but they might rest some of their top players Thursday with the playoffs around the corner.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Earns third shutout of season
Brossoit posted a 24-save shutout in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Stars.
This was Brossoit's third shutout of the campaign, matching his total from his first nine seasons combined. The 31-year-old has won seven of his last nine outings, giving up just 14 goals in that span. He's been one of the best true backup goalies in the league with a 14-5-2 record, 2.00 GAA and .928 save percentage over 22 appearances as Connor Hellebuyck's understudy. Brossoit probably won't play much in the playoffs, but he's likely to get at least one more regular-season game once the Jets lock in their playoff positioning.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Starting in Dallas
Brossoit will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Brossoit wasn't great in his last start April 1 versus LA, surrendering three goals on only 28 shots, but he was still able to come away with a win thanks to strong goal support from his teammates. He'll try to secure his 14th victory of the season in a brutal road matchup with a scorching-hot Dallas team that's gone 9-1-0 through its last 10 games.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Defeats Kings
Brossoit stopped 25 of 28 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Kings.
Brossoit played for the first time in five games and held his own against a tough opponent. He shut the door in the third period, and a goal from Cole Perfetti with 6:55 left ended up deciding the game. Brossoit has won six of his last eight outings and is now at 13-5-2 with a 2.10 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 21 appearances this season. Connor Hellebuyck is likely to start Thursday versus the Flames, but Brossoit could see an uptick in playing time once the Jets clinch a playoff spot.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Gets starting nod Monday
Brossoit will protect the home goal versus the Kings on Monday, John Lu of TSN reports.
Connor Hellebuyck has slumped lately, including in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators. Brossoit will return to the net after playing just once in the previous five games. Brossoit is 5-2-0 over eight appearances since the All-Star break while allowing just 15 goals in that span.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Needed in relief against Isles
Brossoit turned aside 12 of 13 shots after replacing Connor Hellebuyck midway through the second period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Islanders.
The switch in the crease had less to do with Hellebuyck's play and was more an effort by coach Rick Bowness to wake up his sleepwalking team, but Brossoit did his part in giving the Jets a chance to rally. The 31-year-old backup goalie has been impressive when called upon of late, and through five outings in March, Brossoit's gone 3-1-0 with a .945 save percentage.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Shutout streak ends at 179 minutes
Brossoit made 37 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Devils on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
All three goals came on the power play. It was Brossoit's first loss in six starts. His shutout streak came to an end after 179 minutes and 40 seconds. Brossoit has been an excellent play in spot duty this season, and with the postseason approaching, the Jets may rest starter Connor Hellebuyck a bit down the stretch. Brossoit will continue to be a strong activation in spot duty for the Jets.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Slated to start Thursday
Brossoit is set to guard the crease against the Devils on the road Thursday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Brossoit is riding a five-game winning streak during which he's posted a 1.40 GAA, .948 save percentage and two shutouts. With their No. 2 option rolling, it seems the Jets are willing to give the 30-year-old netminder some extra looks, as he figures to get one of the upcoming back-to-back games against the Islanders and Capitals on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Even then, Brossoit won't be taking the starting job away from Connor Hellebuyck any time soon.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Records second consecutive shutout
Brossoit made 21 saves in Friday's 6-0 shutout win over the Ducks.
Brossoit has five straight wins, including back-to-back shutouts. While it's only natural that he would play second fiddle to Connor Hellebuyck -- a four-time NHL All-Star who's making a serious bid for the second Vezina Trophy of his illustrious career -- there's no denying that Brossoit has been an excellent streaming option this campaign. The 30-year-old Brossoit has earned a 12-4-2 record with a sparkling 1.99 GAA and .927 save percentage through 18 games played.
