Max Domi grew up in and around the Toronto Maple Leafs locker room due to his father, Tie. On Monday, Domi will continue his family's blue and white legacy by putting on the Maple Leaf jersey for the first time at home.
Max Domi will play his first game as a Maple Leaf in Toronto on Monday night.
"He plays with his heart and soul," said Mitch Marner, who played with Domi during their junior days with the London Knights in the Ontario Hockey League."I've seen it first-hand. He's a helluva guy to have on your team. He's a frisky little guy out there and likes to be in the mix. He's going to bring a lot of character, a lot of speed, a lot of great plays and he'll be fiery out there too.
Domi has been skating on a line with Nylander during camp and Monday will be their second game together. Domi is on left wing and Nylander is getting a consistent look at centre for the first time in the NHL. This will be the first real test of training camp as the Montreal Canadiens will have most of their regulars in the lineup.
Robertson then got sent to the box for goalie interference despite making only minor contact with Sam Montembeault and appearing to get pushed into the crease. But upon exiting the box, the puck sprung loose, and Robertson got a breakaway, which he buried. "You don't want to be hurt during training camp, but it is what it is," Jarnkrok said following Monday's practice with the non-game group."I'll try and make the best of it when I get back."
Keefe highlighted this as an area Knies has improved upon. So, what is the 20-year-old winger doing differently? John Klingberg, who had been skating alongside Jake McCabe, has not hit the ice since tweaking something in his upper body early in Wednesday's game in St. Thomas, Ont. against the Buffalo Sabres.
The defensive-minded Kokkonen played 36 games with the Toronto Marlies in the American Hockey League last season picking up six assists. Woll didn't suit up in a game until Nov. 25 last year, but quickly made up for lost time. He opened the season with 12 straight wins with the Toronto Marlies. When the Leafs faced injuries in net in February, Woll got called up and played well going 6-1-0 with a .932 save percentage. Woll played so well that he started ahead of Matt Murray in the playoffs after Samsonov got hurt.
