- On May 11, 2025, Max Domi of the Toronto Maple Leafs received a five-minute major penalty and a $5,000 fine for boarding Aleksander Barkov, captain of the Florida Panthers, during their game in Florida.
- The penalty and fine followed a late hit from behind that caused Barkov to be driven into the boards during the closing seconds of the Panthers' 2-0 Game 4 win in the second round.
- Domi's hit sparked a melee involving multiple misconduct penalties, and although Barkov skated off under his own power, Florida’s Evan Rodrigues was later injured and may miss Game 5 in Toronto.

- Domi avoided suspension, and the Panthers evened the series at 2-2, with the next game scheduled for May 14, 2025, in Toronto, maintaining a physical series tone.
