Former Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Louis Domingue is continuing his playing career overseas.
Domingue signed a one-year deal with the KHL's Sibir Novosibirsk on Thursday after spending the 2024-25 season with the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, the AHL team of the New York Rangers. He finished the season with a 7-20-1 record, a 3.32 goals-against average, and a .896 save percentage.
He had been with the Wolf Pack for the previous three seasons after spending the 2021-22 season with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Domingue played in six playoff games for the Penguins against the Rangers in 2022 because of injuries to Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith, finishing with three wins, a 3.65 goals-against average, and a .898 save percentage.
DeSmith was the starter for Game 1 of the series but got hurt during the game, paving the way for Domingue to take the net until Jarry was healthy enough for Game 7. The Penguins had a 3-1 lead in the series before the Rangers stormed back to win it in seven games thanks to an Artemi Panarin overtime goal.
Domingue was picked by the Arizona Coyotes (now the Utah Mammoth) in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL Draft.
