Brossoit underwent hip surgery in the offseason and is progressing towards returning to playing condition, beginning with a stint in the AHL with the Rockford IceHogs. The 32-year-old Brossoit has battled injuries in recent years, not playing since the 2023-24 season, but has been an effective netminder when healthy, posting a 2.64 GAA and .911 SV% in 140 career appearances (64-46-13).
The 32-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Blackhawks in July 2024 but may never suit up for the team. He already missed the entire 2024-25 season following meniscus surgery in August and arthroscopic surgery in November. On Thursday, GM Kyle Davidson confirmed Brossoit required hip surgery this summer and will be sidelined indefinitely. Chicago is set to open the season with Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom as their goaltending tandem.
The Blackhawks signed Brossoit to a two-year deal worth $6.6 million ($3.3M AAV) in the offseason. The 31-year-old Brossoit has suffered a setback in his return to action after underdoing an additional procedure and will be out of the lineup for approximately six more weeks.
Chicago completed their goaltending tandem on Monday as Laurent Brossoit joined Petr Mrazek in the Blackhawks' goaltending room after signing a two-year deal worth $6.6 million ($3.3M AAV). The 31-year-old solidified himself as one of the NHL's best backups after an incredibly successful first season in Winnipeg, with his 15-5-2 record, 2.00 GAA, .927 SV% and three shutouts.
With the Jets locking in home-ice advantage in their impending first-round matchup against the Colorado Avalanche, they will give Connor Hellebuyck the night off in their final game of the season and turn to Brossoit.

The Jets enter action as +136 road underdogs.
