Brossoit has undoubtedly faced tougher opponents, but that is to be expected ... Jarry has only seen one of the better teams (Prince Albert), while otherwise facing middle-of-the-pack teams (Lethbridge, Moose Jaw) and two bottom-feeders (Kootenay and Vancouver). Brossoit has played against the almighty Blazers and a few other good teams so far and saw two bottom-feeders (Kootenay and Saskatoon). It should also be noted that the Oil Kings have just played four games away from home. Both Brossoit and Jarry have played the second game of a back-to-back once.
Maybe the Oil Kings defense has an impact on his game, too. After all, they have lost Pysyk and Gernat, that's not easy to overcome.
Time will tell ... so far, it hasn't been spectacular for Brossoit. I remember him saying in an interview during the prospect camp that he aims to be at or near the top of every goaltender statistics, so he can't be too happy himself. Maybe he will run hot at some point again soon, but ever since the Memorial Cup, he doesn't seem to be up to his game. Maybe he could need a change of scenery. Don't want him in that city up there anyway
