"I'm expecting that they treat every guy the same way, and I felt like because I don't have many games in this league I'm being treated differently," he said, according to Sarah McLellan of azcentral sports. "I think that if Holtby would have covered the puck this way, they would have blew the whistle right away.
"All game it was the same thing. I didn't have the whistle."
He added: "It's just unacceptable that they don't treat us the same way."
Domingue's beef was engendered in the third, when he stopped a slap shot from Tom Wilson and appeared to cover up the puck. However, it was dug out from under his glove and jammed in by Mike Richards - a goal that proved to be the eventual game-winner.
ST. LOUIS - Tomas Hertl, Logan Couture and Joe Thornton each scored two goals, powering the San Jose Sharks to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.
Thornton also had two assists as San Jose improved to 21-9-2 on the road, m...
The Capitals bumped their point total to 92 in the process, pushing their lead atop the Metropolitan Division to 18 points, and moving 11 clear of the Chicago Blackhawks in the race for the President's Trophy.
Braden Holtby backstopped the noteworthy - albeit slightly trivial - win, inching closer to a milestone of far greater significance in the process. The Vezina Trophy frontrunner is now just 10 wins shy of Martin Brodeur's single-season record with 24 games left on the schedule.
It appears Craig Smith's greatest enemy is an empty net.
The Nashville Predators forward had a wide-open net in the final minute of overtime Monday against the Montreal Canadiens, but somehow managed to block his own one-timer attempt with his follow-through.
The blooper reminded many of a similar situation in 2011 when he skated alone towards an empty net against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and proceeded to shoot the puck over the glass in his attempt to roof an easy goal.
Thankfully for Smith, he redeemed himself in the shootout by scoring the game-deciding goal to give the Predators their third win in five games.

Held without a point through his first 14 games with Washington, the veteran forward gave his new team a 3-1 lead Monday by drilling home his first goal as a member of the Capitals after Tom Wilson knocked the puck loose out from under the glove of Arizona Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue.
That’s Mike Richards’s first goal since January 3, 2015 with Los Angeles.
"With my luck, I thought it'd be disallowed," Richards quipped after the game. A scrum ensued shortly after he scored, but his goal was met with a great reception from the Verizon Center fans who gave the 31-year-old a lengthy standing ovation.
Don't get goosebumps very often, but knowing Mike Richards as long as I have and what he's been through, that ovation did it. #CapitalsTalk
The goal would stand as the game-winner with the Capitals hanging on to win 3-2. Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin scored the other two Washington goals with the captain netting his league-leading 39th of the season, while Braden Holtby earned his NHL-best 38th win.
The Capitals have now own nine of their last 10 games and sit atop the Eastern Conference standings by a whopping 17 points ahead of their nearest competitors, the Florida Panthers.
Jake Allen might be returning to a starter's role after all.
The league's hottest goaltender, Brian Elliott, exited with a lower-body injury Monday versus the San Jose Sharks after awkwardly twisting to the ice in an attempt to reach back and prevent a puck from trickling into the net.
He tested the injury, performing some movements in the crease, but had to make way for Allen, who was thrust into goal a day after being activated from injured reserve. He missed 17 games with a lower-body injury himself.
Elliott won 12 games in his counterpart's absence, and in the process shot to the league lead among active goaltenders in both save percentage (.932) and goals-against average (2.06) heading into Monday's contest.
A significant injury would render the Blues once again thin in goal, of course, but they remain in good hands. Allen's .924 clip before his setback represents a top-10 rate among goaltenders with at least 30 appearances.
ST. LOUIS - St. Louis goalie Brian Elliott has left the Blues' game against San Jose with an apparent injury.
At the 12:59 of the first period, San Jose's Logan Couture pushed the puck past Elliott for a power-play goal, giving the Sharks a 3...
