Brossoit made 26 saves as the Winnipeg Jets blanked the Edmonton Oilers 5-0 in pre-season action on Monday.
“I wanted to play 60 (minutes),” said Brossoit, who was injured during the second round of the Vegas Golden Knights' playoff run to a Stanley Cup championship last season.
“I wanted to get the familiarity of playing 60 and focusing for 60 and even the routine for 60. I think it's important just to start to have that routine feel more and more normal.”
Brossoit, who played for the Jets from 2018-21, was signed as a free agent.
Winnipeg's new top line also showed a glimpse of what's to come.
Centre Mark Scheifele and right-winger Gabriel Vilardi set up Kyle Connor for a power-play goal late in the first period.
