Max Domi
In his first NHL season, Domi developed instant line chemistry with Duclair, earning the duo the nickname "The Killer D's". Domi scored his first career assist and goal in his NHL debut against the Los Angeles Kings on October 9, 2015, against Jonathan Quick. On January 12, 2016, Domi recorded his first career NHL hat trick against the Edmonton Oilers. Two of his goals came on the powerplay, and defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson assisted on all three goals.
On June 15, 2018, Domi was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Alex Galchenyuk. The following day, Domi signed a two-year, $6.3 million contract extension with Montreal. In a preseason game against the Florida Panthers on September 19, Domi sucker punched Panthers defenceman Aaron Ekblad, resulting in Domi's suspension for the remainder of the preseason.
On October 3, 2018, Domi recorded two assists in the season opener as the Canadiens lost 3–2 in overtime to the Toronto Maple Leafs. On October 17, Domi scored his first goal for Montreal in a 3–2 victory over the St. Louis Blues. On November 10, Domi registered two assists against the Vegas Golden Knights, bringing his season tally to 21. He became the first Canadiens player during the season to surpass the 20-point mark.
He finished the 2018-2019 as the leading scorer on Montreal, notching 28 goals and 44 assists for 72 points - all three being career bests. He had 80 penalty minutes - again the highest in his career.
