CHICAGO – Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Laurent Brossoit has been sent to Rockford of the American Hockey League for a conditioning assignment.
The team announced the decision on Tuesday.
Brossoit, 32, is recovering from offseason hip surgery. He also missed the entire past season after meniscus surgery on his right knee.
The Blackhawks have Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom in goal, so Brossoit could be a trade target for a team looking for help at the goaltender position.
Brossoit signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract with Chicago on July 1, 2024. He played in 23 games with Winnipeg during the 2023-24 season, with a record of 15-5-2, a 2.00 goals-against average, and a .927 save percentage.
Brossoit, a sixth-round selection in the 2011 draft, has a record of 64-46-13 with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in 140 career games. He has also played for Edmonton and Vegas.
