Seeing Domi get a fine for his elbow on Hathaway is not particularly surprising. Domi’s elbow connected with Hathaway’s head on the play, and it was not subtle in the slightest.
Domi received a two-minute minor penalty for elbowing on the play.
It is important to note that Hathaway injured Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe in a fight earlier in the contest. Thus, this Domi elbow undoubtedly looked like retaliation for that.
