The host Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning, who will meet Saturday night at the BB&T Center, have been relying on backup goalies a lot lately.
For the Lightning, it’s Louis Domingue, a 26-year-old Canadian who is 9-4-0 this season with a 3.25 goals-against average and an .899 save percentage. He has filled in effectively for starter Andrei Vasilevskiy, who on Saturday will miss his 10th consecutive game due to a fractured left foot.
A former fifth-round pick, Domingue was in the American Hockey League when the Lightning acquired him on November 24, 2017.
