NASHVILLE — Suddenly, the decisions regarding goaltending have become not so easy for Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice.

Try as he might to keep his No. 1 goalie Connor Hellebuyck happy and on schedule, Maurice has little choice but to give surprising backup Laurent Brossoit more time in the net.

Brossoit has earned it with great performance after great performance this season.

He hasn’t started a ton of games, but when he has played, he has been one of the very best goaltenders in the entire NHL.

The numbers are beyond impressive.

Among goalies with at least 10 games played, Brossoit leads the league with a 2.01 goals against average and a stunning .943 save percentage.

Not surprisingly he is 10-0-1 in the games he has started, suffering his only loss in a relief effort when Hellebuyck was yanked in the first period.

Meanwhile, Hellebuyck ranks 42nd in the NHL with a 2.87 GAA and 37th in save percentage at .908. In spite of those numbers, the Jets remain a first-place team.
