The Ducks have added another experienced presence in goal, signing Laurent Brossoit to a one-year contract through the 2026-27 NHL season.
Brossoit, 33, brings a résumé that includes a Stanley Cup run with Vegas in 2022-23. He went 5-2 in eight postseason appearances during that championship march, giving Anaheim a goaltender who has been through the grind and delivered on the biggest stage.
The 6-3, 203-pound netminder has appeared in 141 career NHL games, making 119 starts, and has put together a 64-47-13 record with six shutouts, a 2.66 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage. His NHL stops have included Edmonton, Winnipeg, Vegas and San Jose.
Brossoit’s path to Anaheim has been anything but straightforward. Originally drafted by Calgary in the sixth round, 164th overall, he split the 2025-26 season between the Chicago and San Jose organizations.
After missing the 2024-25 campaign because of injury, he played in 29 games last season. He saw one NHL game with the Sharks and added a 12-8-1 mark in 22 AHL contests with the San Jose Barracuda after being acquired from Chicago on Jan.
8, 2026.
He also spent time with Rockford to open the season, going 3-3-0 in six AHL games. On Dec. 12, 2025, he became the 25th goaltender in AHL history to score a goal, doing it for Rockford against Milwaukee.
Across seven AHL seasons, Brossoit has built a strong minor-league track record as well. In 195 career AHL games with Abbotsford, Oklahoma City, Bakersfield, Henderson and Rockford, he has posted a 92-77-22 record with 11 shutouts, a 2.76 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage.
The Port Alberni, B.C. native now heads to Anaheim with a long résumé, recent championship experience and plenty of mileage at both the NHL and AHL levels.

Ducks Add Another In-House Forward As Depth Chart Takes Shape
The Ducks continued adding to their organizational depth by bringing back another familiar forward in Judd Caulfield, whose path has already run through San Diego and Anaheims broader development pipeline. Caulfield has spent time with the Gulls in the AHL and brings a resume that also includes North Dakota and the U.S. National Team Development Program, giving the Ducks a steady in-house option as they sort through the bottom of the roster.
His new deal runs through the 2027-28 NHL season and keeps him squarely in the mix for the kind of depth role teams rely on over a long year. Caulfield was acquired from Pittsburgh in March 2023, and with another two-way contract in hand, the next question is how the Ducks intend to use that familiarity as their forward group takes shape.

Former Ducks Veteran Already Found His Next NHL Home
John Carlsons next stop is already in place after a brief run in Anaheim, where the veteran defenseman finished last season following a trade from Washington. The 36-year-old still carries a long NHL rsum, with 170 goals and 785 points in 1,159 games, and he was productive after the move, posting 60 points in 71 regular-season games between the Capitals and Ducks.
For Anaheim, Carlsons departure is another reminder of how quickly deadline acquisitions can become short-term rentals in a league where experience still carries real value. His market moved fast once he reached unrestricted free agency, and the new deal reflects the kind of role teams still see for a puck-moving blueliner with his track record, even as the Ducks continue sorting out what their blue line looks like going forward.

Former Ducks Goalie Frederik Andersen Just Found Another NHL Home
Frederik Andersen has found another NHL landing spot, and for Ducks fans it is a reminder of how long the veteran goalie has stuck around since his days in Anaheim. The 36-year-old has carved out a 13-season career that has taken him from the Ducks to Toronto and Carolina, and now he is joining a team with immediate expectations and very little patience for uncertainty in net.
Edmonton is taking a measured approach with Andersen, who comes with the kind of injury history that has shaped the way teams have to manage him. The one-year deal is built with base money and bonuses, and the plan is to use him in tandem rather than lean on him as a full-time answer, which tells you exactly how the Oilers view the balance between upside and risk.
