VANCOUVER B次元官网网址� Laurent BrossoitB次元官网网址檚 first career shutout happened in the right building.

Brossoit stopped 40 shots at Rogers Arena and Mark Scheifele scored the only goal as the Jets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 1-0.

B次元官网网址淭his is one of those games I donB次元官网网址檛 think I will forget,B次元官网网址� said Brossoit, who was born in Port Alberni and grew up in Surrey. B次元官网网址淭o have that many shots and have the game go the way it did, and have my first shutout here in the building I grew up in, it was definitely a special moment.B次元官网网址�

The Canucks pulled their goalie in the final minute and mounted a frantic attack. Brossoit faced a barrage of shots.

B次元官网网址淵ou never want that kind of chaos but, at the end of the game, for it to go our way, the chaos is fine,B次元官网网址� he said.

Brossoit showed his quickness in the first period, sticking out a pad to stop a Josh Leivo wrist shot, then blocked Elias PetterssonB次元官网网址檚 attempt on the rebound.

Midway through the second period, with Vancouver pressing on a power play, Brossoit dragged his leg in front of Alexander EdlerB次元官网网址檚 shot from the point through traffic.

Brossoit improved his record this year to 8-1-1. He has 38 NHL games split between Winnipeg and Edmonton. The game against Vancouver B次元官网网址� his first start against the Canucks B次元官网网址� was his fourth start this month.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 the most consistent amount of starts IB次元官网网址檝e gotten in my NHL career,B次元官网网址� said the 25-year-old, who had 25 family and friends at the game. B次元官网网址淚 appreciate the vote of confidence to have me in consistently. ItB次元官网网址檚 easier to prepare.B次元官网网址�

Head coach Paul Maurice offered some humour while praising Brossoit, who joined Winnipeg this year as a free agent.

B次元官网网址淥ur goalie was our best player,B次元官网网址� said Maurice. B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 earned every start that heB次元官网网址檚 got.

B次元官网网址淗e just hasnB次元官网网址檛 given us a reason ever not to start him. As good as he is in the games, heB次元官网网址檚 equally good in practice, pushing to get better all the time. If he was on a longer term deal IB次元官网网址檇 talk more nice things about him, but weB次元官网网址檝e got to sign him again this year so heB次元官网网址檚 just all right.B次元官网网址�

ScheifeleB次元官网网址檚 goal came with 92 seconds left in the third period to give the Jets (24-10-2) their 11th win in 13 games. It also was WinnipegB次元官网网址檚 eighth straight victory over Vancouver.

ScheifeleB次元官网网址檚 shot came from the left faceoff dot on a give-and-go play with defenceman Dustin Byfuglien. It was his 22nd goal of the season.

The 25-year-old former first-round draft pick has been on a torrid pace, collecting 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in the last seven games.

Losing on a late goal was a bitter pill for the Canucks (17-18-4), who suffered just their second regulation loss in their last nine games (6-2-1).

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 been a couple of games weB次元官网网址檝e lost like that,B次元官网网址� said forward Antoine Roussel. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 frustrating.

B次元官网网址淵ou have to come up on top and learn from those games sometimes. You canB次元官网网址檛 be losing in the last two minutes of a game. We battle all the way and crack at the end. It hurts.B次元官网网址�

While Green is pleased with the CanucksB次元官网网址� progression, goaltender Jacob Markstrom was frustrated the team remains 10th in the Western Conference, one point out of a playoff spot.

B次元官网网址淲e havenB次元官网网址檛 accomplished anything,B次元官网网址� said Markstrom, who stopped 22 shots. B次元官网网址淲e are under .500 at Christmas time. You canB次元官网网址檛 say this is an accomplishment.B次元官网网址�
