Leafs forward Domi fined $5,000 for late hit on Panthers captain Barkov
NEW YORK — Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi has avoided a suspension for his late hit from behind on Florida Panthers captain Alexander Barkov.
The NHL announced Monday that it has fined Domi US$5,000, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NHL Players’ Association, after he drilled Barkov into the boards with time expiring in the Panthers’ 2-0 win over the Maple Leafs on Sunday.
Domi was given a five-minute major for boarding after the hit, which sparked a melee in the game’s dying seconds.
Toronto forward Bobby McMann, Florida defenceman Aaron Ekblad and Panthers forward Brad Marchand — on his 37th birthday — each received 10-minute misconducts.
The Panthers evened the best-of-seven second-round series at 2-2 with the victory.
Game 5 is Wednesday in Toronto.
