"In Thursday night's overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi made the absolute worst play at the worst time. Domi tried forcing the puck to a teammate in front of the crease, only for Zach Werenski to intercept the ill-fated pass. Werenski found Adam Fantilli down the ice, near Domi. But Fantilli already turned on the jets before Domi knew what was happening, leaving him to watch as Fantilli drilled in the game-winner for the Blue Jackets."
"Right now, Domi is averaging over a giveaway per game, with 22 in 21 contests. That puts him on pace for 86 giveaways if he keeps turning the puck over at the rate he's been. It wouldn't be as big a deal if he were making up for his mistakes either through producing points or winning enough puck battles to generate more offense."
"The problem is that Domi hasn't been doing anything of worth lately. He has just six points and three goals on the season, with a minus-11 rating. He's averaging just 13:08 of average total ice time, over a minute fewer than the 14:10 he clocked in at last season. What's worse? At even strength, Domi has been on the ice for just nine goals, for an on-ice shooting percentage of just 6.7."
Max Domi's intercepted pass in overtime allowed Zach Werenski to spring Adam Fantilli, who scored the game-winner, costing the Maple Leafs a two-point win. The loss dropped Toronto to 9-9-3 and provoked fan outrage, with calls to move Domi to wing or trade him. Domi has 22 giveaways in 21 games, projecting 86 giveaways over an 82-game pace, and has only six points and three goals with a minus-11 rating. His average ice time is down to 13:08 from 14:10 last season. At even strength he has been on ice for nine goals with a 6.7% on-ice shooting percentage and an on-ice save percentage of 84.6%, allowing 20 goals.
