Carter Hutton, his backup, is 7-7-2 with a 2.81 GAA and .896 save percentage in 22 games (14 starts).
"It's really infortunate," Allen said of Corsi. "It's been a tough feeling in here all day, and I know for [Hutton], Jimmy's such a great guy as you guys know. So happy and positive. He's just a great person. It's really tough for us to take today. I'm sure it is for him as well. I haven't gotten to speak with him yet. Tough loss for us."
Brodeur played the final seven games of his NHL career with the Blues during the 2014-15 season and was hired as assistant GM on May 20, 2015. He is the NHL all-time leader in regular-season wins (691), shutouts (125), games played (1,266) and minutes played (74,439). In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, he ranks first in shutouts (24) and is second in wins (113). He helped the New Jersey Devils win the Stanley Cup in 1995, 2000 and 2003.
"[Brodeur] knows what I can do and how I can do it," Allen said. "I think he's going to be there to help me out, especially with him just recently playing and knowing the game and being around the game for so long. He knows what's up and he's going to be a good addition for us."
