I don't buy this. Improving save percentage in some cases has to to lie with the team as well as the goalie.
Take a look at the highlights from some games Domingue has played. He let in 5 against the Isles Oct 24. I looked at those goals. He only may have had a chance on the fifth. Lots of Isles beating Arizona to the net and some wicked redirections. There are no Brian Elliott squeakers from the boards.
That game looked like a rebuilding team who is playing for a rookie head coach, not a team whose goalie couldn't give them a save.
