Max Domi's Altercation with Lane Hutson Has Montreal Canadiens Fans Raging Online
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi is trying to earn his spot on the team's first line, which led to a physical moment with Habs defenseman Lane Hutson.
This preseason is an important one for Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi, who has a lot to prove after only scoring eight goals last season.
He was forced to play center, which very clearly didn't play to his strengths. As a result, he struggled, and it became clear that he needed a different role.
Going into this season, Mitch Marner is gone, and now, Domi is being given an opportunity to play on the first line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies.
On Saturday, Domi played his first game of the preseason, and while his offensive abilities were hampered, he was certainly throwing the body around.
Max Domi vs. Lane Hutson
At one point in the game, Domi found himself going toe-to-toe with Lane Hutson, the sophomore sensation on the Montreal Canadiens.
As you can see below, Domi hit Hutson twice, and it led to a huge scrum that saw Max go to the penalty box for roughing.
It was a great moment that showcased the lengths Domi is willing to go to in order to pump up his team and prove his worth on the ice.
While last night's preseason game was not a great one for the Toronto Maple Leafs, there is no denying that the Leafs are in a good spot going into the regular season.
They have a ton of depth, and if Domi doesn't step up, they can always just put Matias Maccelli in his spot.
The regular season officially begins on October 8th, and we could not be more excited about how this is going to go.
