Vancouver Canucks acquire goalie Louis Domingue in deal with New Jersey Devils

Feb 24, 2020 | 2:31 PM

VANCOUVER — With Jacob Markstrom nursing a lower-body injury, the Vancouver Canucks have added some goaltending insurance.

The club acquired Louis Domingue from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for minor-league goalie Zane McIntyre just before Monday’s 3 p.m. ET NHL trade deadline.

Markstrom missed practice Monday and will be re-evaluated Wednesday. Thatcher Demko is Markstrom’s backup.

Since being traded to the Devils from the Tampa Bay Lightning in November, Domingue has split time between New Jersey and the club’s American Hockey League affiliate in Binghamton, N.Y.

In 16 games with New Jersey this season, Domingue is 3-8-2 with a 3.79 goals-against average and .882 save percentage.
