Jets' Brossoit gets 2nd straight start
Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice didn't turn back to No. 1 netminder Connor Hellebuyck for Sunday night's road game.
Backup goaltender Laurent Brossoit made his second consecutive start and was in goal against the New York Islanders.
Brossoit, 26, allowed four goals on 39 shots in a shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday.
"I just really liked his game," Maurice told reporters Sunday. "That gave us the chance to mount the comeback."
Hellebuyck gave up five markers on 31 shots in a 6-4 loss to the New York Rangers in Winnipeg's season opener on Thursday. He also struggled in the preseason, allowing 12 goals in three games for an .813 save percentage - the second-worst preseason rate in the NHL.
Winnipeg is in the midst of a season-opening, four-game road trip that concludes Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
