The Winnipeg Jets have a Vezina runner-up from just last year in net. Connor Hellebuyck even set a record for wins by American-born goaltenders.
I am not suggesting that Laurent Brossoit will become the starter. He has had one start. He’ll get another chance this afternoon. Yes, he looked great against Carolina. I know, it’s Carolina.
But he made some really great saves. His positioning was good, and he’s clearly very athletic. I know Arizona is bad, but if he looks like that again, he’ll garner some more support around Winnipeg. Definitely outside the organization, but also within.
