VGK goaltender Brossoit exits with injury
Published
Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Laurent Brossoit left Monday's Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers with an apparent injury in the first period and did not return.
Adin Hill came in for Vegas in relief with the game tied 1-1. He stopped all 24 shots he faced while Vegas went on to win 5-1 to take a 2-1 series lead.
Golden Knight head coach Bruce Cassidy did not have an update on Brossoit postgame, noting the team will dress Hill and veteran Jonathan Quick if he remains sidelined.
"It was tough to see him go off the ice like that, but your focus has to go right back to playing," Cassidy said. "Guys certainly went in and checked on him after the period and after the game and we'll see how he does. I don't have anything on him yet, we'll get you something as soon as we can. Jonathan Quick is here and he's been good for us. If 'LB' is not available, it will be Hill and 'Quicky.'"
Brossoit seemed to suffer the injury while sliding across the crease to protect against a rebound. Brossoit went down immediately and needed help to get off the ice and get down the tunnel.
The 30-year-old had a .896 save percentage and 3.13 goals-against average in seven games with the Golden Knights during the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Game 4 between the two teams will go Wednesday night at Rogers Place in Edmonton.
