Former New Jersey Devils goalie Louis Domingue is headed overseas to continue his career. The KHL’s Sibir Novosibirsk recently announced that they signed Domingue to a one-year deal for the 2025-26 season.
Last season, Domingue appeared in one NHL game with the New York Rangers, where he made 25 saves on 27 shots to secure a win. At 33 years old, he spent the bulk of the season playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL, posting a 7-20-1 record with a .896 save percentage and a goals-against average of 3.32 over 28 games.
During the 2019-20 season, Domingue played 16 games with the Devils, finishing with a 3-8-2 record, a save percentage of .882, and an average of 3.79 goals allowed per game. He also played seven games with the Binghamton Devils in the AHL that year, going 4-2-1 with a .912 save percentage and a 2.45 goals-against average.
Domingue’s time with New Jersey ended when he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in February 2020 in exchange for goalie Zane McIntyre.
Across a 10-season NHL career spanning 144 games with teams including the Arizona Coyotes, Tampa Bay Lightning, Devils, Canucks, Calgary Flames, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Rangers, Domingue has recorded a 61-60-10 record, a save percentage of .906, and a goals-against average of 3.01.
Additionally, New Jersey Devils defenseman Luke Hughes is gaining recognition as one of the NHL’s brightest young talents.
