Anaheim Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville made a pointed statement by starting goaltender Laurent Brossoit in the team's preseason game against the San Jose Sharks on September 24, 2026, at SAP Center in San Jose.
Brossoit, wearing number 31, played the second period as the Ducks continue to evaluate their goaltending situation amid early-season struggles. The decision signals Quenneville's willingness to shake up the lineup in search of stability between the pipes.
The Sporting Tribune's Zach Cavanagh reported on November 1, 2026, that the move underscores the pressure on the Ducks' coaching staff to reverse the team's fortunes.
