Brossoit, Nolan Allan and a 2028 seven-round pick were acquired by San Jose from Chicago on Thursday in exchange for Ryan Ellis, Jake Furlong and a 2028 fourth-round selection, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit has a 3.38 GAA and a .901 save percentage in six appearances with AHL Rockford in 2025-26. He hasn't played in the NHL this campaign. Yaroslav Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic have struggled in 2025-26 -- the Sharks rank 30th in goals per game with 3.49 -- so there might be an opportunity for Brossoit to get a shot in the NHL with his new organization. For now, though, Brossoit is projected to remain in the minors.

Brossoit will be placed on waivers Monday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit rejoined the Blackhawks on Monday following a conditioning stint with AHL Rockford, but head coach Jeff Blashill said that the netminder will be sent back to the minors if he clears waivers. Brossoit hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign, but if he remains in the organization, he'll presumably be the first option to be called up if Chicago needs an additional goaltender.

Brossoit (hip) rejoined the Blackhawks on Monday following his conditioning stint with AHL Rockford, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit made three appearances for the IceHogs, in which he went 2-1-0 with a .900 save percentage -- though it will be the goalie goal that stands out the most from his time in the minors. At this point, when Brossoit might get into the crease for the Blackhawks remains to be seen, but he should eventually break into the rotation with Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom now that his hip problem is behind him.

Brossoit (hip) stopped 33 of 36 shots and scored a goal in AHL Rockford's 5-3 win over Milwaukee on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit has gone 2-1-0 with 10 goals allowed on 100 shots over his first three games on his conditioning loan. He was loaned Dec. 2 and can stay with the IceHogs for two weeks, so he is starting to run out of time. The Blackhawks are looking for a change of scenery for the netminder, who is coming off surgeries on his knee and hip that have kept him out of action since April of 2024. If no trade can be arranged, he could be waived to stay with Rockford, though it doesn't look like he'll immediately be in contention for NHL action.

Brossoit (hip) was activated off non-roster injured reserve and sent down to AHL Rockford on a conditioning assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit likely will get into a game against AHL Colorado on Friday or Saturday and could spend up to two weeks with the minor-league club. This is a step in the right direction for the backstop, who hasn't appeared in a game since a playoff appearance April 28, 2024, versus the Avalanche.

Brossoit (knee) underwent hip surgery during the offseason and remains out long-term, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit missed all of the 2024-25 campaign due to a knee injury and is now recovering from a hip procedure that is slated to cost him considerable time this season. It's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to return to game action, but Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom should handle goaltending duties for the Blackhawks to begin the regular season.

Brossoit (knee) will be unavailable for the start of training camp, and it's likely he will miss additional time, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit missed the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign due to a knee issue. He has one more season left on his two-year, $6.6 million contract. If Brossoit remains on the shelf for the beginning of the 2025-26 season, Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom will handle the goaltending duties for the Blackhawks.

Brossoit (knee) is not expected to play this season, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit has been battling a knee injury that required surgery in November, which followed a previous surgery to address a torn meniscus in August. The 31-year-old looks to have lost the whole season at this point, though the Blackhawks are not hurting for goaltenders after acquiring Spencer Knight in a trade that sent Seth Jones to the Panthers. Brossoit is under contract for 2025-26, but he may end up in the minors since both Petr Mrazek and Knight are also under contract.

General manager Kyle Davidson said Monday that he's hopeful that Brossoit (knee) will be able to return at some point this season, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit has dealt with a knee injury since the start of the regular season, and he's been out indefinitely after undergoing a procedure in late November. Although the Blackhawks haven't been particularly competitive this season, Davidson still maintains hope that Brossoit will be back in game action sometime during the final two and a half months of the regular season. Brossoit may not see considerable playing time if he's able to return, as Davidson also said Monday that he wouldn't be concerned with carrying three goaltenders on the active roster.

Per Scott Powers of The Athletic on Friday, Brossoit had another procedure on his knee and will be out of action for six weeks, according to coach Luke Richardson.

EDGE Analysis

Brossoit underwent his original surgery Aug. 27 and was in need of another operation. Brossoit has yet to appear in a Chicago uniform this season after signing as an unrestricted free agent July 1. He will battle Petr Mrazek once he is ready to take on a big role. Brossoit was 15-5-2 with a 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 23 regular-season appearances with the Jets last season.
