In 45 games for the AHL’s Moose this season, Comrie has posted a 23-16-2 record with a 2.75 goals against average and .916 save percentage.

The Jets are off Friday. The earliest they will update Brossoit’s status will be at their pre-game skate before they take on the Nashville Predators on Saturday.

Winnipeg will clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a regulation win, or an overtime loss Saturday.
