Max Domi will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Thursday.
The Montreal Canadiens forward is facing discipline for punching Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad in a preseason game Wednesday. The incident occurred 56 seconds into the third period of Florida's 5-2 win at Bell Centre. Domi was called for roughing and given a match penalty. The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: roughing and punch to an unsuspecting opponent. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
