The Anaheim Ducks announced this week that they have secured veteran goaltender Laurent Brossoit on a one‑year contract that runs through the 2026‑27 NHL season. The move comes as the club looks to reinforce its goaltending depth heading into a critical stretch of the schedule.
Brossoit, who turns 33 in March, arrives after a season that was limited by injury but highlighted by a productive stint in the American Hockey League. He posted a 12‑8‑1 record in 22 games for the San Jose Barracuda after being acquired from the Chicago Wolves in January, and he capped the stretch with a 3‑3‑0 showing in six appearances for the Rockford IceHogs to start the 2025‑26 campaign.
His NHL résumé includes stints with the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Vegas Golden Knights and San Jose Sharks, during which he compiled a 64‑47‑13 record with a 2.66 goals‑against average and a .910 save percentage across 141 appearances. The highlight of his professional journey came in the 2022‑23 season, when he helped the Golden Knights capture the Stanley Cup, a triumph that cemented his reputation as a reliable playoff performer.
Beyond the NHL, Brossoit has carved out a notable AHL legacy, becoming the 25th goaltender in league history to score a goal on December 12, 2025, for Rockford against Milwaukee. Over seven seasons he has amassed a 92‑77‑22 record with 11 shutouts, a 2.76 GAA and a .911 SV% in 195 games, underscoring his durability and willingness to contribute in unexpected ways.
Looking Ahead
The Ducks will hope that Brossoit’s blend of Cup‑winning pedigree and AHL success translates into steady performances when the regular season resumes. His contract provides the club with flexibility while they evaluate younger prospects, making his veteran presence a strategic asset as the franchise aims to return to playoff contention.
