Update on Max Domi's Injury Raises Speculation About Its Severity

For the Toronto Maple Leafs, there was a lot of storylines to follow on Day 1 of training camp, ranging from line combinations to who the early standouts were. However, one important storyline to keep tabs on as we near pre-season contests is the status of Max Domi.

The veteran forward was unable to join the main group as he was tending to an injury he suffered while training, which has kept him away from the on-ice sessions.

Domi was listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury and was seen working with the development staff on his own for the last two days.

On Friday, head coach Craig Berube followed shared an update that didn't sound entirely positive, but implied that things should be looking up in the coming days, according to Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun.

While he might not be 100% ready at the moment, Berube's comments about Domi's eventual return in the coming days should help to curb any panic about the situation.

However, with Domi having been sidelined, that opened up an opportunity on the top line for Matias Maccelli to slide in as he flanked Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies on Thursday and Friday.

It seems like Domi's spot to lose, at least according to some recent comments made by Berube, but if his injury continues to linger, perhaps Maccelli can get a bit of a longer look there.

Nevertheless, Domi's situation will be intensly monitored over the next few days as he looks to shake off the injury and get back onto the ice with the main group.
