The Montreal Canadiens claimed goaltender Antti Niemi off waivers.
The Canadiens' goaltending carousel has been in constant rotation
this season as former Hart and Vezina Trophy winner Carey Price has
been nursing a lower-body injury while backup Al Montoya is
sidelined due to a concussion.
Rookie Charlie Lindgren (3-1-0, 1.24 goals-against average) has
fared well in their absence, but Montreal general manager Marc
Bergevin saw an opportunity with Niemi.
Niemi, 34, has struggled this season, however, posting an 0-4-0 mark
in five appearances with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Florida
Panthers.

The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired goaltender Louis Domingue from the
Arizona Coyotes for goaltender Michael Leighton and forward Tye
McGinn, the teams announced.
Domingue has been mired in a disastrous season with the sputtering
Coyotes, posting an 0-6-0 mark with a 4.33 goals-against average and
.856 save percentage.
Leighton has not played in the NHL this season. The 36-year-old owns
a 37-43-4 mark with a 2.96 goals-against average.
McGinn, who suited up for 18 games with the Coyotes in 2014-15, last
played in the NHL during the 2015-16 season.

lower-body ailment.
Hartnell, who signed a one-year, $1 million contract in July, has

of signing a one-year, $650,000 contract in June.
