Scheifele scores late, Brossoit makes 40 saves as Jets blank Canucks 1-0
VANCOUVER — Laurent Brossoit’s first career shutout happened in the right building.
Brossoit stopped 40 shots at Rogers Arena and Mark Scheifele scored the only goal as the Jets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 1-0.
“This is one of those games I don’t think I will forget,” said Brossoit, who was born in Port Alberni, B.C., and grew up in Surrey, on the boarder of Vancouver. “To have that many shots and have the game go the way it did, and have my first shutout here in the building I grew up in, it was definitely a special moment.”
The Canucks pulled their goalie in the final minute and mounted a frantic attack. Brossoit faced a barrage of shots.
