Max Domi News

Domi has not played since October 31st but will replace Gregory Hofmann in the lineup on Saturday. Domi, who has four points (1G / 3A) in four games, will skate on the fourth line with Jack Roslovic and Justin Danforth.

Domi missed the past six games after being placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list on November 1. He has collected one goal and three assists in four games this season.

Domi was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday and is not expected to be available for Wednesday's game in Colorado. Like when he missed time with a rib injury, look for Yegor Chinakhov to replace him in the lineup.

Domi has missed the last four games but will replace Yegor Chinakhov in the lineup on Friday. Domi will skate on the third line and second PP unit in New York.

Activating Domi suggests that he could return to the lineup on Friday. Domi missed the last four games but had a great start to the season, scoring one goal with three assists (four points) in his first two games.

Domi had a great start to the season, picking up four points (1G / 3A) in his first two games. In that second game, he fractured his ribs and will miss at least two weeks. With Domi out, Yegor Chinakhov will make his NHL debut on the third line.

Domi was expected to miss at least the first month of the season but is way ahead of schedule and will play in the season opener on Thursday. Domi's production has been all over the map in the last three seasons, but he'll look to improve in 2021 under a more offensive-minded head coach.

Domi's original timetable had him returning sometime in November or December. However, Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekäläinen reported that he's ahead of schedule in his recovery but still has a lot of tests to pass until he's ready to play.

Domi has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Kevin Stenlund in the lineup on Thursday. Domi, who has just seven points (2G / 5A) in his last 15 games, is expected to skate on the third line and PP2 in Tampa.

Domi, who has seven points (2G / 5A) in his last 15 games, was a minus-4 in Dallas on Saturday. He'll be replaced by Kevin Stenlund in the lineup on Monday.

The Blue Jackets acquired Domi from the Canadiens on Tuesday and signed him to a two-year deal on Wednesday. Domi immediately becomes the Blue Jackets' second line centre and will likely play with Gustav Nyquist and Cam Atkinson and will see PP2 time. Through the first five years of his career, Domi has averaged 18 goals and 37 assists (55 points) per 82-games.

Domi is coming off of a bit of a down year, scoring just 17 goals with 27 assists (44 points) in 71 games. That's down from his 28 goals and 44 assists in his debut season with Montreal but still would have been second on the Blue Jackets in points in 2020. Domi is exactly the type of player the Blue Jackets were in need of and pushes Boone Jenner to a third-line centre role, which is a much better fit for him. The acquisition of Domi, who will likely skate on a line with Gustav Nyquist and Cam Atkinson, signals that the Blue Jackets are likely done with Alexander Wennberg.

Domi sat out the first week of Phase 3 while deciding whether or not he will play in the Qualifying Round. Domi is at an increased risk as a Type-1 diabetic, so he took extra time to make his decision on the NHL's Return to Play program. During his first practice with the team, Domi took part in some drills and was featured on the second power-play unit.

Domi missed Wednesday's practice and was listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game, but he said he will play following their optional morning skate. Domi has cooled off recently, posting just one assist in his last seven games.

Domi missed practice the last two days and will be a game-time decision on Thursday. Monitor his status during the Canadiens' morning skate in Buffalo.
