NEW YORK - º£½ÇÉçÇø¹ÙÍøMaple 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.
