The Devils acquired goaltender Louis Domingue in exchange for a conditional 2021 draft pick.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Element of The Deal<\/h3>\n<p>The Devils get a quality backup goaltender with natural puck stopping abilities along with some upside moving forward. Over his five-year NHL career, Domingue has played for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/coyotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Coyotes<\/a> and Tampa Bay Lightning. He has put up a 55-49-8 career record in 122 career appearances with 108 of those coming in starts. He also has a 2.96 goals-against average, a .907 save percentage, and two shutouts. Domingue&#8217;s only Stanley Cup Playoff appearance came in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals vs <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/capitals\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington Capitals<\/a>. He stopped all seven shots he saw in 18 minutes in net.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Domingue started 26 games for the Lightning. He put up an impressive 21-5 record with a 2.88 goals-against average and .908 save percentage. This was a career year for the 27-year-old goaltender along with his first winning season.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Tampa Bay has been rumored to have Domingue on the block since they acquired <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/condomi01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mike Condon<\/a><\/strong> from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/senators\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ottawa Senators<\/a> in late July. The move originally left the Lightning with four goaltenders. They currently have two goalies on the active roster and two contracts buried in the minors.<\/p>\n<p>With Domingue coming off a great year as a back-up expect him to be a big piece for his new club moving forward. Expect Domingue to stay in a back-up role as he has had little experience as a starter yet in the NHL. He still has one year remaining at $1.15 million.<\/p>\n<p>It would appear that the Devils want to mix things up in the net. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/blackma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MacKenzie Blackwood<\/a><\/strong> has a 2-2-1 record and is only getting paid $675,000. The veteran <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/schneco01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cory Schneider<\/a><\/strong>, 33 is struggling with 0-3-1 record and a poor .847 save percentage and an even worse 4.71 GAA. He is on a heavy $6 million deal until the 2022-23 season. It&#8217;s doubtful that they will keep three goalies on their roster.<\/p>\n<p>So, who goes to the AHL, Blackwood or Domingue?<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"5teF-feOS5J-HfOd-h4Yig\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1129479948\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'5teF-feOS5J-HfOd-h4Yig',sig:'yacaCb7xuUuVa07JBVMiufDCW_4XX2Twuky5jqKmTJ4=',w:'594px',h:'424px',items:'1129479948',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tampa Bay Lightning have agreed to trade goaltender Louis Domingue to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a conditional 2021 seventh-round pick.
