Laurent Brossoit (born March 23, 1993) [1] is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender for the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League. Brossoit won the Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023.
Brossoit was selected by the Calgary Flames in the sixth round, 164th overall, of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and played for the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets prior to joining the Golden Knights. He was born in Port Alberni, British Columbia, but grew up in Cloverdale, British Columbia.
In 2008, Brossoit was chosen in the second round, 26th overall, of the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft by the Edmonton Oil Kings. In the 2008–09 season, Brossoit played in 20 games for the Valley West Hawks of the BCMML. Brossoit saw his first Western Hockey League (WHL) action with the Oil Kings, playing one game.
During the 2009–10 season, Brossoit spent most of the season with the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the BCHL. In 21 games, Brossoit registered a 3.66 goals against average (GAA), a .901 save percentage and a 10–8–0 record. In five playoff games, he registered a 3.93 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Brossoit played in two games for the Oil Kings, posting a 2.80 GAA and a .944 save percentage. Brossoit played for Team Pacific at the 2010 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, posting a 2.00 GAA and a .902 save percentage in two games. [2]
In his WHL rookie season, in 2010–11, Brossoit played in 34 games for the Oil Kings. He registered a 3.32 GAA and a .887 save percentage. In two playoff games, Brossoit posted a 3.58 GAA, a .875 save percentage and a 13–12–2 record. [3]
In his second WHL, 2011–12, Brossoit was a workhorse for WHL champions Edmonton and helped guide the Oil Kings to a WHL championship and a berth into the 2012 Memorial Cup. [4] He had a record of 42–13–5 with 3 shutouts in 61 games and posted a 2.47 GAA and .914 save percentage for the year. [5] The Oil Kings finished with the WHL's best record in winning the Central Division and rolled through the playoffs. Brossoit was 16–4 with two shutouts and had a 2.04 GAA and .933 save percentage. He started all four games at the Memorial Cup and was 1–3 with a 4.04 GAA and .871 save percentage. [6]
On April 2, 2013, Brossoit was named as Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Goaltender of the Week after posting a 4–1–0–0 record with two shutouts along with a 0.76 GAA and .968 save percentage in the opening round of the WHL Eastern Conference playoff series that saw the Oil Kings defeat the Kootenay Ice four games to one.
On April 4, 2013, the NHL's Calgary Flames signed Brossoit to an entry-level contract. [7] [8] Despite rumours of continuing his successful Memorial Cup season with the Flames for the end of the 2012–13 NHL season, Brossoit was not called-up. [9]
On November 8, 2013, Brossoit was traded to the Edmonton Oilers. [10] On March 24, 2014, after playing 30 games in the ECHL with the Bakersfield Condors and eight games in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Oklahoma City Barons, Brossoit received his first NHL call-up to backup Oilers' starter Ben Scrivens. [11]
On January 21, 2017, Brossoit earned his first NHL win in a game against the Calgary Flames. [12]
After five seasons within the Oilers organization, Brossoit left as a free agent following the 2017–18 season. On July 1, 2018, he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets. [13] While playing with the Jets, Brossoit earned his first career NHL shutout in a 1–0 win over the Vancouver Canucks on December 22. He made 40 saves in the win. [14]
On May 25, 2019, the Jets re-signed Brossoit to a one-year, $1.225 million contract. [15] He signed another one-year contract on October 2, 2020, this time with a salary of $1.5 million. [16]
On July 28, 2021, following his third season with the Jets, Brossoit left as a free agent and was signed a two-year, $4.65 million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights. [17] In his first season with the team, he served as backup to Robin Lehner and recorded a 10–9–3 record and .895 save percentage. However, it was announced that he required hip surgery in the off-season that would leave him unavailable for the beginning of the 2022–23 season. [18]
Following Brossoit's return from hip surgery, the Golden Knights' management opted to have him begin with the franchise's AHL affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights. [19] [20] Brossoit was waived by the Golden Knights on November 10, 2022, and cleared waivers the following day. [21] [22] Injuries to both Logan Thompson and Adin Hill eventually prompted Brossoit's recall to the NHL, playing alongside former Los Angeles Kings starter Jonathan Quick, who the team acquired midseason. [23] [24]
The Golden Knights finished first in the Western Conference to qualify for the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, with Brossoit named the starting goaltender for their first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets; [25] Brossoit's starting role against his former team and partner Connor Hellebuyck attracted media attention. [26] [27] The Golden Knights prevailed in five games. [20] [19] In Game 3 of the team's second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers, Brossoit exited the game after injuring himself in the process of making a save. [28] Hill took over the net, leading the team onward to the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals. [29] The Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers in five games, and Brossoit joined the team in hoisting the Stanley Cup. [30]
On July 1, 2023, Brossoit signed a one-year, $1.75M contract with the Jets to return to Winnipeg. [31] The 2023–24 season proved a great success for the Jets, who finished fourth in the league, while Brossoit called it "a blessing to be here" while seeking to reestablish his ability to play and remain healthy after previous injuries. He was the Jets' nominee for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, awarded by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association to the player who "exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to the game." [32] The Jets allowed a league-low 199 goals over 82 games, earning the William M. Jennings Trophy as a result, but Brossoit was not eligible to have his name on the trophy as he had played only 23 games, two short of the minimum to qualify. [33]
