GLENDALE, Ariz. – Ask Arizona Coyotes general manager Don Maloney which of his young players has the biggest surprise of what has been a surprising first half of the 2015-16 season and one name leapfrogs to the head of a deserving list of candidates.
"Hands down, no question, Louis Domingue," Maloney said. "And he's done it at position and at a time when we really needed it."
Domingue has emerged as an unexpected stabilizing force in goal and has allowed the Coyotes to surprise much of the hockey world by being in the race for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the rugged Western Conference more than halfway through the season.
