Laurent Brossoit

Laurent Brossoit was born on March 23, 1993, in Port Alberni, British Columbia, and was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the sixth round (13th pick) of the 2011 NHL Draft. The left-catching goaltender stands 6'3" and weighs 203 pounds. He won the Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 before returning to the Winnipeg Jets as a free agent that summer. He currently wears number 93 for the San Jose Sharks.

Over 141 career NHL games, Brossoit has posted a record of 64–47–13 with a 2.66 goals-against average, a .910 save percentage, and 6 shutouts. In the 2025-26 season, he has appeared in one game for San Jose.

InGoal Magazine has covered Laurent Brossoit in one podcast appearance and four Pro Reads.

The Pro Reads sessions originated at the NET360 Goalie Camp in Kelowna, where Brossoit joined his long-time trainer Adam Francilia and agent Ray Petkau just two days after celebrating his day with the Stanley Cup. InGoal was on hand and on the ice to film those sessions, and Brossoit spent an additional 30 minutes conducting video breakdowns ^[1]. He was returning to Winnipeg at the time to rejoin fellow NET360 regular and Jets goalie coach Wade Flaherty ^[1].

The first Pro Read ^[1] examined a 5-on-5 in-zone situation against the Dallas Stars, focusing on his decision to come across on his skates rather than slide on his knees. Brossoit explained the reasoning: "You want to stay on your feet as much as possible given that he is passing it from outside the top of the circle and outside of the dots. You should be able to get to anywhere on your feet, I would say. At this level, at least. A slide here (and) you are too committed and there are too many other people that can get a stick on it." He also described letting the mind "go quiet" and not overthinking as he came across in that sequence ^[1].

The second Pro Read ^[2] returned to a Dallas Stars game, this time a rush chance led by Jamie Benn. Brossoit described reading the play early and how that simplified his movement: "It definitely felt like Benn, because he slows up, makes it a little easier on me, so my focus shifted to these two dangerous guys in the middle because he made it pretty clear he's not shooting this." He was candid about one element of the seal he wasn't satisfied with: "To nitpick — because I'm a bit of a perfectionist — I anticipated it and I still came up. I'd like to stay pretty in front of it." He also described the mechanics of matching the pace of a pass: "If you are following the pace of the puck on its way and it does get tipped, you stayed with the pace rather than getting there too early" ^[2].

The third Pro Read ^[3] covered a broken-play rush against the Minnesota Wild. Brossoit identified his own positioning as too aggressive going into the play: "When I am more aggressive than usual, I play a little more high-strung because plays become more difficult, longer movement patterns." He pinpointed a specific mechanical issue with his lateral movement: "I shuffled before I rotated and the rest of the pattern is more difficult. I was sloppy. I just needed an early rotation and that would have been a lot easier." Despite that, he noted what he did hold onto: "I stayed forward and tracking the puck and then even though it was sloppy, I ended up getting aggressive enough and when the shot came I was ready" ^[3].

The fourth Pro Read ^[4] was published in January 2024, during a stretch in which Brossoit had won all three of his starts while posting a .946 save percentage, with a +4.2 SV% differential since December 1 that ranked third in the NHL. The sequence involved a Seattle Kraken power play and a backdoor pass to Daniel Sprong. Brossoit described what he was pleased with on the rotation: "The one thing I do like about this one is not making these big, grand, long pushes, whether it's a shuffle on my knees and so there's kind of like a split-second waiting to see if there's anyone in the middle to take this pass and then even that rotation, I am really happy with." He also discussed resisting the temptation to reach early: "There's an assumption they are going to do what they do in practice and go bar down or post and in. You have to give yourself a chance to make a save and I feel like that is when you stay compact. I liked how I didn't open up, especially on a one-timer back door" ^[4].

That January 2024 stretch was part of the Jets' 12-game point streak that placed them atop the NHL standings, as well as a franchise-record 29 consecutive games without allowing more than three goals — second in the modern era ^[4]. Across all four Pro Reads sessions, Brossoit consistently broke down both what he liked and what he wanted to correct, with a focus on rotation mechanics, lateral movement, and decision-making on pass reads.
