Brossoit will look to extend Winnipeg's three-game winning streak as he takes the crease for the second time in four games on Thursday vs. New Jersey. The 30-year-old veteran netminder has been arguably the league's best backup this season with his impressive 12-4-2 record, 1.99 GAA and .927 SV%. He will head to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who have struggled as of late winning only three of their last 10 games.
The Blackhawks will turn to Soderblom between the pipes for the fifth time in the last 10 games after a stretch of eight games with only one start. Soderblom has won two of his last three outings but allowed four goals on 14 shots (.714 SV%) in his last contest, a 5-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The Blackhawks enter action as slight +106 road underdogs against an Anaheim Ducks club that has failed to score in three of their last four games (0-4-0).

Brodie will be a healthy scratch for the first time as a Maple Leaf as he heads to the press box in place for Connor Timmons on Wednesday in Washington. The 33-year-old stay-at-home defender has done well defensively this season, but has struggled to find his offensive spark as he has yet to score but has 18 assists, 26 PIMs and a +14 plus/minus through 66 games in 2023-24.
The Blackhawks will turn to Mrazek for the third time in the last four games on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings.

That said, the Blackhawks enter action as significant +321 road underdogs against the Kings.
