Barry Brust (born August 8, 1983) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender.
Playing career
Brust was drafted in the third round, 73rd overall in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the Minnesota Wild from the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League. After his final year in the WHL with the Calgary Hitmen, Brust signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Kings to a three-year contract on June 9, 2004.
After initially beginning his professional career with the Kings ECHL affiliate of the Reading Royals, Brust moved up to the AHL with the Manchester Monarchs before making his NHL debut with the Kings in the 2006–07 season and played in 11 games, winning two.
After not being offered a qualifying offer by the Kings before the 2007–08 season, he signed with the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League, the primary affiliate of his original draft team in the Minnesota Wild. Brust was awarded at season's end, along with Aero's teammate Nolan Schaefer, the Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award for the fewest goals against in the AHL. On July 1, 2008, Brust was signed to a new two-year deal with the Wild and was assigned back to the Aeros.{{cite web | url = https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?id=11353 | title = TSN 2008 UFA Signings Tracker | date = 2008-07-01 | accessdate = 2009-01-02 | publisher = The Sports Network | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20081217033842/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?id=11353 | archivedate = 2008-12-17 | url-status = dead }}
