Leafs' Max Domi shrugs off controversy around his hit on Aleksander Barkov following $5,000 fine

  • 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.
  • The NHL has imposed the highest fine permitted under the collective bargaining agreement on Domi, while Panthers coach Paul Maurice remarked that the league carefully reviews such incidents, especially given the timing within the game.
  • 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.
