Brossoit (lower body) took the ice Thursday with the Jets' second practice group, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Brossoit suffered a lower-body injury during the Golden Knights' playoff run, but his presence on the ice Thursday suggests that's no longer an issue. The 30-year-old goalie returned to Winnipeg for his second stint with the team, and he's expected to back up Connor Hellebuyck throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Brossoit has never played more than 24 games in a season, but given Hellebuyck's capabilities, Brossoit may not be asked to see even that much action this year.

Golden Knights' Laurent Brossoit: Blitzed in first period
Rotowire
Brossoit stopped 27 of 32 shots in two periods of Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 2.
The Oilers rang up four goals on Brossoit in the first period, cashing in twice on the power play, once shorthanded and once at even strength. Adin Hill handled the third period and stopped all four shots he faced. So far in the postseason, Brossoit has been solid, though this is the fourth time in seven starts he's allowed four or more goals. He may have a short leash with the series shifting to Edmonton for Games 3 and 4, though it's unclear if Hill or Jonathan Quick would be the preferred replacement should Brossoit lose hold of the starting job.
