VANCOUVER — Laurent Brossoit is proving to be no ordinary backup goalie.
The Winnipeg Jets netminder held his team in the game, then watched as Mark Scheifele scoring the only goal of the night with 1:32 left in the third period as they beat the Vancouver Canucks 1-0 Saturday night at Rogers Arena.
Brossoit was brilliant, stopping all 40 shots he faced to improve to 8-0-1 in nine starts this season. And Scheifele once again had a flair for the dramatic in scoring another huge goal, his 22nd of the season, to give his team the victory.
