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
Rotowire
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: Needed in relief against Isles
Rotowire
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: Slated to start Thursday
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.

Jets' Laurent Brossoit: Shuts out Kraken
Rotowire
Brossoit posted a 17-save shutout in Friday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Brossoit earned his first shutout since the 2021-22 campaign in this effort. The 30-year-old wasn't tested much, and the Jets' offense took over in the third period. Brossoit is up to 11-4-2 with a 2.11 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 17 appearances. This kind of game represents a best-case scenario for the Jets -- Connor Hellebuyck was able to back up Friday after battling an illness, but if he's not 100 percent, Brossoit's light workload should mean he'll be relatively fresh if he needs to play Saturday versus the Canucks.
