The Toronto Maple Leafs are gearing up for the Stanley Cup playoffs with these final regular season games. For Max Domi tuning his game means finding ways to help his teammates throughout the game. Tonight that meant coming to the aid of superstar Auston Matthews.
During a battle along the boards, Auston Matthews got into a shoving match with New Jersey Devils rookie defenseman Simon Nemec. During the scrum, Simon Nemec threw some punches at Auston Matthews. After the two separated Max Domi came from across the ice to let Simon Nemec know Auston Matthews is not to be messed with.
