This Maple Leafs forward received a fine for elbowing this Flyers winger.
As Denver Barkey heads back to the London Knights after spending the last couple of months watching the Philadelphia Flyers' training camp from the sidelines, he reflects on his recovery from illness and coming back a stronger player than before.
NHL Player Safety has announced that Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi has been fined $5,000 for elbowing Philadelphia Flyers forward Garnet Hathaway. This is the maximum allowable fine under the current CBA.
Seeing Domi get a fine for his elbow on Hathaway is not particularly surprising. Domi's elbow connected with Hathaway's head on the play, and it was not subtle in the slightest.
Domi received a two-minute minor penalty for elbowing on the play.
It is important to note that Hathaway injured Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe in a fight earlier in the contest. Thus, this Domi elbow undoubtedly looked like retaliation for that.
