Barry Brust

 

Barry Brust is a 6-foot-2 goalie for the Los Angeles Kings and was born in August 8, 1983 in Swan River, Manitoba, Canada. Brust spend his childhood in Kelowna, British Columbia.

 

Brust was originally drafted #73 in the third round by the Minnesota Wild in June 2002, but was left unsigned until on June 2004 by the Los Angeles Kings. The left-catching Brust debuted with the Kings on November 30, 2006 against the Phoenix Coyotes in Jobing.com Arena located in Glendale, Arizona. Kings starter Dan Cloutier failed to defend three goals on first five attempts of the Coyotes that forced Los Angeles coach Mark Crawford to put Brust into the game.

 

Brust finished his first regular season stint with the Los Angeles Kings with 30 GA and 3.70 goals against average in eleven games.

 

Brust’s puck handling is solid enough to provide the necessary support the Kings needed as well as becoming an inexpensive back-up for the team should unexpected injuries occur.

 

Records and Awards

 

Brust earned the WHL’s Goaltender of the Year in 2001-2002 where he led, and recorded, the Spokane Chiefs with franchise-best 2.14 GAA and .922 save percentage.

 

Early career

 

Brust came into the WHL (Western Hockey League) in 2000-01 with the Spokane Chiefs in the Western Conference, but he only played in 14 games and didn’t go for the 2001 draft. He was tasked to provide the firepower after the team’s starter Tyler Mackay was dealt to another team and he did not disappoint as he finished as one of the league’s leaders in GAA and save percentage. Interestingly, he performed well despite the team’s very strong defensive unit that includes Chris Heid, the 2001 Minnesota Wild draftee.

 

Brust’s impact was determined to entice his performance in a trade and did so when he was traded to the Calgary Hitmen in January 8, 2004.

 

During the NHL Draft in 2002, Brust was regarded as the #22 pick NA goaltender provided by CSB, but was picked #73 overall as the #5 NA goaltender by the Minnesota Wild.

 

Brust played fairly well in his stint with both Spokane and Calgary and finished the 2003-04 season with 2.48 GAA and a save percentage of .901.
