Domingue served primarily as the backup to Jonathan Quick while with the Rangers but played exceptionally in his only game-action, saving 25 of 26 shots for a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Rangers do not play again until Saturday, so while this might be a paper transaction, allowing Domingue to get some playing time with Hartford (AHL), it could also be a sign that Igor Shesterkin is nearing his return.
Bennett's impending return is welcome news for him and the Panthers after he was injured after playing just 7:54 in his season debut. Bennett had 16 goals, 24 assists, 193 SOG, 54 PIMs and, a +5 plus/minus in 63 games played in 2022-23.
Bobrovsky will get the nod against Chicago on Sunday in what shapes up to be an excellent matchup for the two-time Vezina Trophy winner. Bobrovsky has won his last four appearances, and he and the Panthers are favoured at -260 to keep that streak alive on Sunday. The 14-year veteran most recently allowed just two goals on 30 shots enroute to Florida's 5-2 victory over the Hurricanes on Friday. Bobrovsky leads the NHL with seven wins on the season while boasting a .907 SV% and a 2.65 GAA.
Nosek missed the Devils' previous 10 games due to a lower-body injury but has been activated from the injured reserve and was a game-time decision Friday vs. Washington. The 31-year-old failed to pick up a point in his two games played so far in 2023-24 but had 18 points (11G/7A) last season with Boston.

Bennett's availability for Sunday's game is still to be determined but his impending return is welcome news for him and the Panthers after he was injured, playing just 7:54 in his season debut. Bennett had 16 goals, 24 assists, 193 SOG, 54 PIMs and, a +5 plus/minus in 63 games played in 2022-23.
Nosek has missed the last 10 games with a lower-body injury and is slated to make his return on Friday. In two games this season, Nosek was held without a point, averaging 12:10 time-on-ice. He is expected to play on a line with Erik Haula and Curtis Lazar.
As has been the case most of the season, Bobrovsky has had difficulty with consistency between the pipes. That said, his Panthers teammates have done a formidable job of generating offence and providing him with goal support of late. Despite three sub-.900 SV% efforts, Bobrovsky has not lost in regulation in his last five games (4-0-1), saving 120 of 132 shots in the process (.909 SV%). On Friday, Bobrovsky and the Panthers are +119 home underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes squad that has won five of their last six (5-1-0).
Balinskis has played 10 games for the Panthers but has been scratched in their two most recent contests in favour of Mike Reilly. Balinskis, who has zero points while averaging 14:07 time-on-ice, will return to the third defensive pair with Josh Mahura.
Hinostroza had a goal, an assist, four SOG, two PIMs and a +2 plus/minus in two games played so far in 2023-24 but has been reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) Thursday. The 29-year-old winger heads back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton where he was succeeding prior to his NHL promotion with two goals, four points and two PIMs in five games played.
Domingue will make his New York Rangers debut on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. Domingue has been with the Rangers, backing up Jonathan Quick, as Igor Shesterkin has been tending to a lower-body injury. The journeyman goaltender will see his first NHL action since appearing briefly in the 2021-22 NHL Playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins. In four games (3-1-0) with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL this season, Domingue has a 1.75 GAA and .934 SV%. The Rangers are -116 home favourites against a Wild team riding a two-game winning strea
Domingue will likely make his New York Rangers debut on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. Domingue has been with the Rangers, backing up Jonathan Quick, as Igor Shesterkin has been tending to a lower-body injury. The journeyman goaltender will see his first NHL action since appearing briefly in the 2021-22 NHL Playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins. In four games (3-1-0) with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL this season, Domingue has a 1.75 GAA and .934 SV%. The Rangers are -116 home favourites against a Wild team riding a two-game winning streak.
The 27-year-old rookie has registered zero points, seven blocked shots, and 13 hits across ten games with the Panthers this season. Mike Reilly will draw into the lineup in his place.
Igor Shesterkin (undisclosed) is still day-to-day so Louis Domingue has been recalled from Hartford (AHL) and is expected to dress Thursday vs. Minnesota. The 31-year-old may make his first start of the 2023-24 season after Jonathan Quick (upper body) was also announced injured Wednesday. Domingue was recalled from Hartford, where he was 3-1-0 with a .934 SV% and 1.75 GAA.
Bobrovsky has followed up on each of his four sub-.900 SV% appearances this season with strong performances and will look to do the same in his 10th start of the season on Wednesday. On Monday, Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 22 shots in a 5-4 overtime victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets, preceded by a 22-save shutout the previous Thursday. Bobrovsky has had an up-and-down season, but all signs point to a promising performance on Wednesday as the Panthers visit a Washington Capitals team that ranks 31st in the league offensively (1.90 GF / GP). The Panthers are -130 road favourites and will look to build on their current 4-1-1 run.
Gadjovich signed with the Panthers in the offseason but, after serving as a healthy scratch for the team's first 11 games, is being loaned to the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL for a conditioning assignment. Last season, Gadjovich had seven points (3G / 4A), 57 penalty minutes, and 92 hits in 35 games with the San Jose Sharks.
Bobrovsky will return to the crease on Monday to face his former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets. In his most recent game, Bobrovsky saved all 22 shots he faced for his first shutout of the season and is in the midst of a six-game run (4-1-1) that has seen him post a 2.16 GAA and .925 SV%. The Panthers are heavy -219 home favourites on Monday as the Blue Jackets have lost five of their last six games (1-3-2) and have been very poor offensively all season, averaging only 2.55 goals per game.
Panthers' head coach Paul Maurice said that there's a chance Ekblad returns after the Panthers' upcoming road trip to California, which runs from Nov. 14 to Nov.17. This puts Ekblad on track to play somewhere around Nov.20 when they host the Edmonton Oilers.
