He began the season with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/lightning\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> before getting<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/2019\/11\/01\/tampa-bay-lightning-trade-louis-domingue\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> traded to the Devils <\/a>back on November 1st. The Devils received a quality back up from the Lightning. He originally began the season in the AHL with the Binghamton Devils, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/2019\/11\/18\/new-jersey-devils-waive-cory-schneider-recall-louis-domingue\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">before being recalled on November 18th<\/a>. At that time the Devils sent <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> to the minors to work on his game. In 16 appearances this season with the Devils, Domingue has a 3.79 goals-against average and a .882 save percentage. During a stretch when <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>was injured, Domingue took over the starting role.<\/p>\n<p>Originally drafted 138th overall by the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/coyotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Arizona Coyotes<\/a> in the 2010 NHL Draft, Domingue will be on his fourth team in his six-year NHL career. In 138 appearances, Domingue has a 3.04 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. His only playoff appearance came during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final against the <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<h3>What This Means For Domingue&#8217;s New Team<\/h3>\n<p>Adding Domingue to the new team will add depth to the goaltending position. He brings experience and is a quality back up goalie. With his current cap of $1.15 million, he is cheap enough for the new team to bring on. What&#8217;s even better for the team adding him is that they will only be responsible for less than that.<\/p>\n<p>The transition from the Lightning to the Devils was tough for him. While he adjusted to the players in front of him nicely, his play can elevate with a better defence. No goalie was going to succeed in New Jersey with that defence. Sure, they can put a good two to three-game stretch together, but now Domingue can play his role as a backup goalie. He will get into games to give the starter some rest. However, the team will not have to rely on him to win games.<\/p>\n<h3>Markstrom<\/h3>\n<p>This move was in reaction to a potential injury to goalie Jacob Markstrom. Markstrom has been struggling with a knee injury and went through an MRI before heading back to Vancouver.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Source tells me Canucks trading for Louis Domingue is because of concerns over a knee problem for Jacob Markstrom<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YaMy8VC7MH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/YaMy8VC7MH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Patrick Johnston (@risingaction) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/risingaction\/status\/1232039150246715392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 24, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"BOmLN_zOQzhO1y6c1ChA4g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1199571955\" 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:'BOmLN_zOQzhO1y6c1ChA4g',sig:'7iJAJ-9Q60bba_QkC9Ugf90B_f9pNWJzVaDOGx6lMEY=',w:'594px',h:'391px',items:'1199571955',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Jersey Devils have agreed to trade Louis Domingue to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Zane McIntyre. \ud835\ude52\ud835\ude40 \ud835\ude43\ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude51\ud835\ude40 \ud835\ude3c \ud835\ude4f\ud835\ude4d\ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude3f\ud835\ude40 \ud835\ude4f\ud835\ude4a \ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude49\ud835\ude49\ud835\ude4a\ud835\ude50\ud835\ude49\ud835\ude3e\ud835\ude40: #Canucks acquire Louis Domingue (@domingue35) from the Devils (pending trade call).#NHLTradeDeadline | @ToyotaPacific pic.twitter.com\/0zTkuTQLuZ &mdash; Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) February 24, 2020 Devils Trade Louis Domingue to Vancouver Key Players This [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3130,"featured_media":66956,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,6671,13,26],"tags":[4603,2650,955],"class_list":["post-66945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-injuries","category-devils","category-canucks","tag-2020-nhl-trade-deadline","tag-louis-domingue","tag-nhl-news"],"modified_by":"Gabriel Foley","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3130"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
