"Max Domi is back from his personal leave and is making his first appearance during regular practice this training camp after recovering from an injury before needing to step away from the team briefly. And in this first practice with the 30-year-old forward, Berube has slotted Domi right next to newcomers Nicolas Roy and Dakota Joshua to form a fairly balanced third line that could do some extreme damage throughout the season."
"Domi was named along with Matias Maccelli as the frontrunners to replace Mitch Marner on the first line next to Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, but with Maccelli in Group 1 (on that same line still), Domi is now given this role. But if this sticks together and if Maccelli continues to develop chemistry with those two star forwards, then this should strike fear into the Leafs' opponents almost every night."
Training camp practice lines showed Max Domi returning from personal leave and injury and skating with newcomers Nicolas Roy and Dakota Joshua. Head coach Craig Berube placed Domi on a third line that blends experience and new acquisitions, suggesting a physical, balanced depth unit. Matias Maccelli and Domi had been considered as candidates to replace Mitch Marner next to Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, with Maccelli currently remaining on the first line. The coaching staff continues to experiment with combinations while assessing defensive responsibilities and offensive chemistry among forwards.
