Louis Boileau-Domingue (born March 6, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who plays for the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League (NHL). Domingue was selected by the Phoenix Coyotes in the fifth round, 138th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Early career

Domingue was drafted 13th overall by the Moncton Wildcats in the 2008 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) Entry Draft, and he played major junior hockey in the QMJHL with both the Wildcats and the Quebec Remparts. Then he was selected to suit-up for the 2010 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.[1] Domingue was subsequently drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes and, on June 1, 2011, he was signed by the team to a three-year, entry-level contract.[2]

Domingue with the Moncton Wildcats in 2009.

Domingue was assigned to play the 2011–12 season with the Remparts, where he led all QMJHL goaltenders with a .914 save percentage before making his professional debut the following year, playing the 2012–13 season with both the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League and the Gwinnett Gladiators of the ECHL.[3]

Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes

In the 2014–15 season, after the trading away of Arizona backup Devan Dubnyk, Domingue was recalled to the NHL for the first time to back-up starter Mike Smith. Domingue made his NHL debut appearing in relief and allowing two goals in a 7–2 defeat to the Ottawa Senators on January 31, 2015.[4] The following day, Domingue received his first NHL start, and recorded his first win, in a 3–2 victory over the then-Eastern Conference-leading Montreal Canadiens. He finished out the season as Smith's full-time backup.[5]

In the 2015–16 season, Domingue was again recalled, following an injury to Mike Smith. Originally intended to back up Anders Lindbäck, Domingue's strong play moved him ahead of Lindbäck and into the starting role. On June 27, 2016, he signed to a two-year contract extension to remain with the Coyotes.[6]

Tampa Bay Lightning

Domingue began the 2017–18 season, returning as backup for the Coyotes. With an injury to newly acquired starting goaltender Antti Raanta, Domingue was unable to hold the fort, going winless in 7 games. On October 29, 2017, Domingue was placed on waivers by the Coyotes, but cleared waivers the next day, and was the assigned to the Coyotes' AHL affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners, on October 31, 2017.[7][8][9] On November 14, 2017, before appearing with the Roadrunners, the Coyotes traded Domingue to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Michael Leighton and Tye McGinn.[10]

On June 22, 2018, the Lightning re-signed Domingue to a two-year, $2.3 million contract extension.[11]
