Louis Domingue's first career victory couldn't have come at a better time.
The 22-year-old Arizona Coyotes netminder is from Saint-Hyacinthe, a town located just east of Montreal, so he was fortunate to make his NHL debut in a road game against the Montreal Canadiens, with his family cheering him on from the stands.
Domingue's mother jumped up after a tense finish to Sunday's 3-2 victory for Arizona - a touching moment within an otherwise disappointed Bell Centre crowd.
Domingue made 18 saves to earn the win and was congratulated afterward by his Coyotes teammates, who saved the game puck for him.
