Before playing in the NHL, Brossoit played parts of five seasons with Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League (WHL) and one season with the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).

On July 1, 2018, Brossoit signed a one-year, $650,000 contract to join the Winnipeg Jets.[8] On December 22, Brossoit stopped all 40 shots he faced to earn his first NHL shutout in a 1–0 win against the Vancouver Canucks.[9] On May 25, 2019, Brossoit signed a one-year, $1.225 million contract to stay with the Jets.[10]

On July 28, 2021, Brossoit signed a two-year, $4.65 million contract to join the Vegas Golden Knights.[11] He helped the Golden Knights when they went on a run in the playoffs. They defeated the Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers, and Dallas Stars. They went on to defeat the Florida Panthers four games to one in the Final to win the first Stanley Cup in Golden Knights franchise history.[12]

On July 1, 2023, Brossoit signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract to rejoin the Winnipeg Jets.[13] He played 23 regular season games with the Jets, posting a 15–5–2 record with a 2.00 goals against average and a .927 save percentage.
