Louis Domingue
G - New York Rangers
Next Game
Eligibility
Louis Domingue turned aside 26 out of the 27 shots he faced in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Fantasy Impact
Domingue was getting a start to give Jonathan Quick a breather after Quick started all of the games that Igor Shesterkin missed with an injury. Domingue picked up right where the other goalies had left off. It is a good team around the goaltenders which makes their job easier. Domignue improved to 1-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .962 SV%. Ignore Domingue for now, as he may not see any more starts with Shesterkin nearing a return.
Louis Domingue got his first win with the Devils against the Red Wings Saturday. He made 19 saves on 20 shots.
Fantasy Impact
Domingue is not relevant in fantasy hockey. However, the Devils have struggled at the goalie position this year. Watch for Domingue's role to increase as the year continues.
It appears the Tampa Bay Lightning are looking to trade backup goaltender Louis Domingue this offseason.
Fantasy Impact
On Tuesday, the Lightning traded forward Ryan Callahan in exchange for goalie Mike Condon from the Ottawa Senators. Furthermore, Tampa Bay had acquired Curtis McElhinney from Carolina to a two-year deal to serve as the primary backup goalie for starter Andrei Vasilevskiy. Domingue currently has a 55-49-8 record with a 0.907 SV% and 2.97 GAA for his career. With so many goalies on the Lightning's roster, it seems Domingue is the odd man out.
Louis Domingue drew the start in net on Tuesday, saving 38 of the 40 shots that he faced, securing the win.
Fantasy Impact
Louis Domingue will get spot starts here and there, but is should not be fantasy relevant as long as Andrei Vasilevskly is healthy.
In a move Tuesday afternoon, the Lightning have announced the acquisition of goalie Louis Domingue.
Fantasy Impact
Louis Domingue is getting a chance to start over this season. He gained the starter role in Arizona after injuries to the primary goal tender, but went 0-6 in those opportunities with a 4.33GAA. Tampa already has a young breakout goalie manning the net, making this nothing more than depth for the Lightning and giving us no value in fantasy.
