Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi has struggled quite a bit this season, and tonight, head coach Craig Berube is drawing a line in the sand with a harsh decision.
Max Domi has been struggling under head coach Craig Berube, and this has been going all the way back to last season, when he had just eight goals and 33 points.
In 32 games this season, Max Domi has just 12 points, and he has struggled on all four lines of the Toronto Maple Leafs' lineup.
Some fans have been begging for a healthy scratch. Domi was hit with one a few weeks ago, but he has been back in the lineup ever since.
Going into tonight's game against the Nashville Predators, there was quite a bit of speculation that Domi would be watching from the press box.

This speculation was confirmed just moments ago, as Domi will not be in the lineup against the Nashville Predators. Instead, the top line will have Easton Cowan, Matthew Knies, and Auston Matthews.
The second line contains Matias Maccelli, who slots back in next to John Tavares and William Nylander. Nick Robertson is now on the third line with Nicolas Roy and Bobby McMann.
Lastly, the fourth line is going to consist of Dakota Joshua, Calle Jarnkrok, and Scott Laughton. Domi is joined in the press box by Steven Lorentz.

This is a big game for the Leafs, who absolutely need to win, otherwise, they will only dive deeper into the depths of the Eastern Conference standings.
Fans will be watching intently, and the Leafs are in a position where they are expected to win, or big consequences could be coming.
