Domingue will make his second start and fourth appearance of the season. In his last appearance he stopped all 14 shots that he faced in relief of Mike Smith. Overall he is 1-0-0 with a 2.27 GAA and .911 SV% this year. Tonight he will take on a slumping Predators team, who have lost six in a row while being outscored 22-11.
Domingue, 22, has gone 10-6-2 with a 2.57 GAA and .912 SV% in 18 games with Portland this season. He has one win in one start with the Coyotes this season. There is no word whether he will start on Thursday.
With Mike Smith getting all of the action at the NHL level, the Coyotes will likely rotate Domingue and Mike McKenna to keep both of them fresh. Domingue heads back to the AHL where he is 8-4-1 with a 2.40 GAA And .922 SV%.
Domingue, 22, has registered an 8-4-1 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .922 SV% in 13 games with the Pirates this season. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound net minder has also collected a 1-1-0 record with a 1.01 GAA and a .958 SV% in two games with the Gwinnett Gladiators (ECHL). Domingue was originally drafted by the Coyotes in the fifth round (138th overall) in the 2010 Entry Draft.
Domingue could make Team Canada during this season's WJHC. Last season he posted a 2.65 GAA and .898 SV%, which is relatively decent in the QMJHL. Expect him to need at least two more seasons to develop.
