Max Domi Reveals His Thoughts On Being Tested At Centre

Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe is shaking up an offense trying to find it's identity, and is using the start of the season to take a chance on potentially moving Max Domi to centre, with Domi being the 3rd line C for the Maple Leafs alongside Pontus Holmberg and Calle Jarnkrok.

All 3 have experience in the Centre role in the past, with Holmberg a natural Centre, but Domi, with the most experience in the NHL at the position, has the best understanding of the 3 on how to hold it down.

This is the first time Domi would be playing down the middle since signing a one-year deal with Toronto in the offseason. Domi responded well to the challenge, with a willingness to adapt to Keefe's coaching moves.

Domi has played both wing options, taking on responsibilities in Toronto's middle-six, but has struggled to find a consistent offensive spark, with 4 Points in 11 Games, and still seeking a 1st Goal of the season. Domi is currently on a 5 Game pointless streak.

Coming off a 20-Goal, 56 Point season last season with the Blackhawks and Stars, a new role is what the Leafs are hoping can revitalize Domi's offensive skills, trying to find the right move to utilize his strengths as they decide on Domi's potential future beyond this season in Toronto.
