"Max Domi and Matthew Knies each scored twice for the Toronto Maple Leafs, leading the team to a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames. Domi responded to the challenge issued by head coach Craig Berube, while Knies continued to operate as a constant offensive threat for the Maple Leafs. "Up and down. Missed a lot of camp. That always hurts a guy a little bit. Just kind of not fully healthy, in my opinion," Berube said of Domi following Tuesday's optional morning skate."
"Max Domi registered one goal through the first nine games of the season and throughout his Maple Leafs' tenure, there's been an edict issues for him to shoot more often. Domi responded with two goals in his finest performance of the season. The veteran forward was among four Maple Leafs with three shots at 5-on-5 each, and his first goal of the game was the turning point."
"Domi took advantage of some chaos at the blue line and broke free for a 2-on-1 with Steven Lorentz, looking off his linemate before wiring a shot cleanly past Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf. It changed the tenor of the contest, and Domi picked up his offensive activity from there onwards. He was engaged, getting shots on goal and trying to create looks for his linemates, before being bumped up in the lineup as a reward for his strong play Tuesday."
Max Domi and Matthew Knies each tallied two goals to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames. Domi responded after missing time and questions about his health, delivering his best performance of the season while playing mainly on the fourth line with Steven Lorentz and Nick Robertson. Anthony Stolarz made 26 saves to secure the victory. Domi converted on a 2-on-1 and increased his shot and chance creation, earning a lineup promotion. Knies remained a consistent offensive presence and linked with Domi on key sequences that shifted the game.
