Domingue took over as the Lightning’s No.2 netminder after being acquired from the Coyotes, going 7-3-1 with a 2.89 GAA and .914 SV% in 12 games with Tampa Bay. The Lightning traded Peter Budaj to the Kings this summer, clearing the path for Domingue to be Andrei Vasilevskiy’s full-time backup next year.
Quick finished the 2018 season with a SV% above .920 for the first time since 2012 and helped the Kings post the league’s best GAA in the NHL this year. Unsurprisingly, Quick was a much better goalie on home-ice and could struggle in what figures to be a madhouse in Vegas in Game 1. He didn’t face the Golden Knights this season, so this will be his first look at the Pacific Division’s top team.
Soucy spent the majority of the 2017-18 season in the AHL, where he amassed 15 points (1G / 14A) in 67 games, but he also appeared in three games with Minnesota. With Ryan Suter definitely out to start the playoffs and Jared Spurgeon a big question mark, Soucy has been recalled and is expected to open the playoffs on the Wild’s second pairings.
Quick allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Kings loss in Anaheim on Friday. Quick has won three of his last five while posting a 1.76 GAA, .936 SV% and one shutout. Quick has been great vs. Colorado this season, going 2-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA and .968 SV% in the first two meetings.

Soucy, 23, was a fifth round pick in 2013 and has picked up 15 points (1G / 14A) in 67 games in his first full pro season in Iowa. Soucy has been recalled because Ryan Suter is out indefinitely with a fractured fibula.
Nash left Saturday's win over the Panthers early with an apparent head injury and will not play against the Flyers on Sunday. Look for Brian Gionta to step back into the Bruins lineup to replace Nash on Sunday.
