Brossoit has been sensational when called upon lately and will earn himself his third start in the last seven games for the Jets. In his last outing, Brossoit pitched a 17-save shutout in a 3-0 win over the Seattle Kraken. He is riding a three-game winning streak, allowing three or fewer goals in each, and has a favourable matchup on Friday against the low-scoring Anaheim Ducks.
Slaggert was the third-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and earned himself a two-year, entry-level contract on Tuesday. The 21-year-old forward has spent the last four seasons playing collegiate hockey with Notre Dame and scored 31 points (20G / 11A) in 36 games this season.
The Blackhawks have won three of their last four and will give Soderblom his third start in the last five games on Friday.

Soderstrom will return to Tucson after being recalled on an emergency basis on Friday. Travis Dermott (illness) will presumably re-enter the lineup in his place.
Sanford performed well in the last three games for the Blackhawks, tallying one point (0G / 1A), seven shots, and three hits. He exits the lineup on Tuesday to allow Andreas Athanasiou (groin) to play his first game since mid-November.

The Jets enter action as -127 road favourites against a Kraken club that defeated them 4-3 in their last outing.
Soderstrom will draw right into the Coyotes lineup after being recalled from Tucson (AHL) earlier in the day. He'll replace Travis Dermott (illness).

The Blackhawks will turn to Soderblom on Tuesday after Petr Mrazek got the nod for Monday's game in Colorado. Soderblom was saddled with yet another loss his last time out, surrendering four goals on 30 shots enroute to a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Blue Jackets. Soderblom has not won since November 24th, and owns a comically poor 2-18-1 record on the season. He finds himself in familiar territory on Tuesday as the Blackhawks are +225 underdogs in Arizona.
