Just when you think the Devils might be done, they make another move. GM Tom Fitzgerald has sent goaltender Louis Domingue to the Canucks to potentially work as a future backup behind Jacob Markstrom.
Domingue can report directly to the Utica Comets to serve as depth for the Canucks in net. Goalie Zane McIntyre will go back from Vancouver to New Jersey in the deal. Domingue appeared in 16 games for the New Jersey Devils this season. He’s also appeared in seven games for their AHL affiliate.
Part of the buzz surrounding the trade is rumors there might be some lingering injury issues for Markstrom which would be devastating for the Canucks. This will be a story that requires keeping close tabs on.
A Postmedia reporter saw Jacob Markstrom at the team’s hotel early Monday afternoon and the Vezina trophy contender was walking with a notable limp.
