Max Domi has panned out better in Montreal than anyone could have expected

Seasons of 52, 38 (shortened by injury), and 45 points never suggested that Max Domi could be a game-changer. Even the advanced stats didn’t paint the picture of an underrated forward, one who could have been misused and represented hidden value. In fact, Domi finished most of his previous seasons in the negative relative to teammates in shot metrics and high-danger scoring chances.

On paper, he simply didn’t appear to be an offensive leader.

But, fast forward to today, and Max Domi is having an incredible start with the Montreal Canadiens. His passing skills and a return of his shooting abilities have translated to high totals.
