Both goalies are riding highs, but who’ll have the edge on Thursday?
Starting Goalie Matchup of the Day for Thu. Mar. 30, 2023:Every game is big for Brossoit: he has a genuine opportunity to earn the Golden Knights crease for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. And Reimer was outstanding in his last outing this past Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets when he posted a 41-shot shutout.With a win tonight, Vegas could be the first team in the Western Conference to clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Brossoit started the 2022-23 season coming off of hip surgery, and soon found himself relegated to the AHL’s Hender Silver Knights. In 23 games, he posted a .909 save percentage while working himself back into game shape. Since being recalled to Vegas, Brossoit has yet to lose in regulation, earning a 2-0-2 record.
Of all the Golden Knights netminders, Brossoit is the most structured. He’s consistent in his movements and routes. And that’s something head coach Bruce Cassidy can depend on. But he’s also missed time due to injury. With the crease unsettled in Vegas, a strong finish to the 2022-23 season could earn Brossoit the starting job.
Reimer hasn’t had it easy with the Sharks this season. The team has largely been dismantled, and the goaltender has been a lightning rod for criticism since opting out of warmups on Pride Night. But Reimer has provided a steady hand in goal for the Sharks, leading the team with 11 wins in 37 starts. He was outstanding in his last outing against Winnipeg, making multiple highlight-reel saves en route to snapping a nine-game losing streak for the Sharks.
