Chicago Blackhawks News

Brossoit will start on Friday vs. Anaheim.

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.

Brossoit will start in Seattle on Friday.

On the front of a back-to-back, the Jets will turn to Brossoit between the pipes on Friday night. Brossoit has been tremendous when called upon, winning three straight, including a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on March 3rd when he saved 17 of 19 shots (.895 SV%). The Jets enter action as -127 road favourites against a Kraken club that defeated them 4-3 in their last outing.

The Golden Knights announced Martinez underwent a procedure on his lower-body injury.

Martinez (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve.

The 36-year-old Martinez was enjoying a productive season by his standards, registering 16 points (4G / 12A) and 152 blocks in 45 games.

Soderblom will start in Arizona on Tuesday.

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.
