Through two games for AHL Tucson this season, Hill has 30 saves and one goal allowed in 93 minutes in net.

The decision comes amid the Coyotes’ 0-4-1 start to the year. Two of those games saw Domingue start in net as expected starting goaltender Antti Raanta continues to struggle with lower body injuries.

Domingue has played in four games and allowed 16 goals with a .862 save percentage.
