Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi has avoided a suspension for his late hit from behind on Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov.

The NHL announced Monday that it has fined Domi $5,000 US, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NHL Players' Association, after he drilled Barkov into the boards with time expiring in the Panthers' 2-0 win over the Maple Leafs on Sunday.

Domi was given a five-minute major for boarding after the hit, which sparked a melee in the game's dying seconds.

Toronto forward Bobby McMann, Florida defenceman Aaron Ekblad and Panthers forward Brad Marchand — on his 37th birthday — each received 10-minute misconducts.
