The San Jose Sharks have acquired goaltender Laurent Brossoit from the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday afternoon in a multi-player deal.

The Sharks receive Brossoit, defenceman Nolan Allan and a 2028 seventh-round pick from Chicago in exchange for a 2028 fourth-round pick, defenceman Ryan Ellis’s contract and defenceman Jake Furlong.

Brossoit was assigned to the AHL on Dec. 2 for a conditioning assignment in his recovery from off-season hip surgery. He also missed the entire 2024-25 season after right knee surgery.

In six appearances with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs, he went 3-3-0 with a .901 save percentage and 3.38 goals-against average.

Brossoit inked a two-year, $6.6 million contract with the Blackhawks on July 1, 2024 but didn’t play a game with the team.

A sixth-round pick (164th overall) by the Calgary Flames in 2011, Brossoit has appeared in 140 career NHL games, split between the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights. He won a Stanley Cup championship with Vegas in 2023.
