Canadian goaltender Louis Domingue, 33, has signed a one-year
contract with Sibir Novosibirsk, the KHL club announced on Thursday.
This is Domingue’s
first contract to play overseas in his career.
Originally from
Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Que., Domingue played junior hockey for the
Moncton Wildcats and Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL, and was drafted in
the fifth round, 138th overall, by the Phoenix Coyotes in
the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Between 2014 and
2025, Domingue played 144 NHL regular-season games and seven more in
the playoffs for the Coyotes, Tampa Bay Lightning, New Jersey Devils,
Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Pittsburgh Penguins and New York
Rangers.
In the 2018-19
season with Tampa Bay, he played 26 games backing up Andrei
Vasilevskiy and posted a 21-5-0 record – including a run of 11
straight wins – as the Lightning tied an NHL record with 62
regular-season wins (since broken).
After playing only
two regular-season games for Pittsburgh in 2021-22, injuries to
Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith forced Domingue into the Penguins’
starting role during the playoffs. He entered Game 1 of the first
round in the second overtime period against the Rangers and played in
six of seven games that series, which Pittsburgh lost.
Goalie Spencer Martin Signs In KHL
Canadian goaltender Spencer Martin, 30, has signed a two-year
contract with CSKA Moscow, the KHL club announced on Wednesday.
In each of the past
two seasons, Domingue played one game and won for the Rangers, but
otherwise spent the rest of the time in the AHL.
Domingue becomes the third goalie who appeared in the NHL in 2024-25 to sign in the KHL this off-season, following Chris Driedger and Spencer Martin.
Domingue
joins a Sibir team that finished seventh in the KHL’s Eastern
Conference last season and was eliminated in the first round of the
playoffs. The team also includes former NHL forwards Scott Wilson and Nikita Soshnikov
and 27-year-old Toronto
Maple Leafs
prospect Vladislav Kara.
