Panthers Sign Domingue, Place Him On Waivers

The Florida Panthers signed goaltender Louis Domingue to a one-year, two-way contract. He was subsequently placed on NHL waivers, along with defenseman Tobias Bjornfot, for the purpose of being sent to the Charlotte Checkers. Domingue, 33, has been with the Checkers on an AHL contract since November and can now be recalled to the NHL if needed. He has played in 144 career NHL games and previously played in the KHL. The signing amplifies uncertainty surrounding Sergei Bobrovsky's future with the team. Domingue has played seven games with the Checkers this season, posting an .831 save percentage and a 3.20 goals-against average.
