Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Could return Tuesday
Rotowire
Head coach Craig Berube said Monday that Domi (lower body) could return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against New Jersey, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Domi has missed the last eight games due to a lower-body injury, but he's been practicing over the past week and appears to be on the cusp of returning to game action. Even if he isn't cleared to suit up against the Devils, it seems likely that he'll be in the mix to play Thursday against the Ducks or Saturday against the Red Wings. Over 19 appearances prior to his absence, the 29-year-old recorded six assists, 11 blocked shots and seven hits while averaging 15:18 of ice time.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Remains unavailable
Rotowire
Domi (lower body) won't be available for Toronto's upcoming two-game road trip, according to Mark Masters of TSN.
As a result, Domi won't be an option for Wednesday's game versus Florida and Saturday's matchup against Tampa Bay. He can come off injured reserve whenever he is ready to return. However, a timeline for his recovery is unclear, and he hasn't been skating. Domi, who has sat out the last two games, has six assists, 24 shots on goal, 11 blocked shots and 21 PIM across 19 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Domi (lower body) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Utah, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.
Domi will miss his second consecutive game as he sat out Wednesday against Vegas. He has been in a big scoring slump, with nary a point in his last 13 games. Domi could return to action as early as Wednesday in Florida.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Designated for injured reserve
Rotowire
Domi was placed on injured reserve Wednesday retroactively to Nov. 16 due to a lower-body injury.
Due to a quirk in the Leafs' schedule, Domi only technically has to miss one game -- Wednesday's clash with Vegas -- and can still be available when Toronto faces Utah on Sunday. The 29-year-old center has been a frequent absence at practices of late but still managed to suit up versus Edmonton on Saturday. It certainly seems like Domi's lower-body issue has been limiting him considering he has yet to score a goal this season and is mired in a 13-game pointless streak.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Adds helper Monday
Rotowire
Domi registered an assist, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Domi set up William Nylander for the opening tally 3:57 into the game. Later on, Domi fought Zemgus Girgensons in the third period. Domi has six assists, 13 PIM, four shots on net and a plus-6 rating through six contests this season, serving as a playmaking center on the second line.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Dishes pair of assists
Rotowire
Domi recorded two assists and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Domi helped out on goals by Bobby McMann and Morgan Rielly as the Maple Leafs jumped out to a 5-0 lead through two periods. Domi has settled into a playmaking role on the second line, providing five assists and a plus-6 rating over four contests. He has just two shots on goal so far, and while he's not a particularly high-volume shooter, he'll get more looks over time. The 29-year-old's place alongside William Nylander makes Domi an interesting depth option in fantasy.

Rotowire
Domi set up two goals in a 4-2 win over the Penguins on Saturday.
He assisted on two goals by William Nylander in the contest. Domi and Nylander appear to be developing some early chemistry.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Starting camp as wingman
Rotowire
Domi will open camp on the wing, reports Arun Srinivasan of The Leafs Nation. Last season, he played his best hockey on the wing, not center.
Domi's game stumbled early while he was down the lineup as a pivot. But it took off when Mitch Marner went down with an ankle injury and Domi stepped onto a line 5v5 with Auston Matthews. Domi finished 17th in the NHL in assists (37). Expect another strong season if Domi can stick in a top-six role.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Back at practice Friday
Rotowire
Domi (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Domi missed the final two games of the regular season, but he is primed and ready to play in Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Likely to miss final two games
Rotowire
Domi (undisclosed) is expected to miss the final two games of the regular season, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.
Domi won't play Tuesday against Florida and is unlikely to be in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus Tampa Bay. He played through an injury in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit, so Toronto is probably just being cautious with the 29-year-old forward before the start of the playoffs. Domi has one goal and 11 assists over his last 13 outings to give him 47 points in 80 contests this campaign.

Rotowire
Domi (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Saturday against Detroit, Nick Barden of The Hockey News reports.

Although Domi didn't practice Friday, coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters the winger could still play against the Red Wings on Saturday. Domi's status versus Detroit will likely boil down to a game-time decision.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: First goal in 10 games
Rotowire
Domi scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over Montreal.
He scored at 2:21 of the second period when he was left unchecked in front of the net and deflected Ilya Lyubushkin's point shot between Sam Montembeault's legs. It was his first goal in 10 games. Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi look like a decent fit on line one with Auston Matthews, but Domi hasn't exactly kicked the door down offensively of late. He has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last seven outings. Domi has nine goals, 34 assists and 129 shots in 76 contests this campaign.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Seven points in last nine games
Rotowire
Domi scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 win over Montreal on Saturday.
He broke in alone on Sam Montembeault near the end of the second and flipped a shot under the netminder's left arm to put the Leafs up 2-1. Domi has turned his game around in the last couple of weeks, generating three goals, seven points and 23 shots on net over his past nine outings. He doesn't contribute to the power play but could be helpful as a depth addition to fantasy managers.
