He did not have his worst season ever but it was not especially good. The former sixth-round pick posted a .895 save percentage and 3.28 goals-against-average. That is a significant decrease from the .925 and 2.52 from 2018-19. He saw almost five fewer shots per game but did not make the most of his workload. The Jets were lucky that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/helleco01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connor Hellebuyck<\/a><\/strong> was so outstanding this season. Otherwise, they would have had a much harder time with the goaltending situation.<\/p>\n<p>Brossoit has been in the league since 2014-15 but didn&#8217;t see double-digit appearances until 2017-18 with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/oilers\/\" target=\"_self\">Edmonton Oilers<\/a>. His career save percentage is .906 overall but the only truly good season on his resume was last year when he outperformed Hellebuyck as the backup. Winnipeg&#8217;s defence struggled mightily to control possession this season but there simply wasn&#8217;t anything remarkable about Brossoit&#8217;s campaign. But he&#8217;s still young and has plenty of time to be a respectable goalie in the league.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Brossoit needs a good 2020-21 if he wants to avoid becoming a permanent third goaltending option for a team. Finding a way to recapture some of what made him productive in his first year with Winnipeg is critical. He has a decent size at 6&#8217;3&#8243;, 204-pounds with ok movements but it is hard to project what he can do moving forward. He simply doesn&#8217;t have enough of a track record with only 68 NHL games played to this point after six seasons. Almost 80 percent of that has come in the last three years with very up-and-down results. The coming year could be a defining one in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"rs3r2dtLTBNoOmS9fC6x_A\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1187719071\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'rs3r2dtLTBNoOmS9fC6x_A',sig:'gs0G0GLf4mOCImNNt3MVSR-rN7fu7mjHeyavb5DdFTo=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1187719071',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goaltender Laurent Brossoit has a job for 2020-21.
