Max Domi wasted no time dropping Radko Gudas three seconds into the Leafs-Ducks game, landing a 10-punch flurry (with a late sucker punch) as Gudas sought to address a knee-on-knee hit on Auston Matthews, and Toronto ultimately prevailed 5-4 in overtime amid a fight-filled night.
Radko Gudas will play for Anaheim against Toronto despite a balky leg, saying he’ll address the knee-on-knee hit that ended Auston Matthews’ season himself in the rematch, as the Ducks ride a hot stretch.
NHL deputy George Parros defended the Department of Player Safety’s five-game ban on Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas for kneeing Auston Matthews, saying the league uses a consistent, experienced process and that the decision was based on the play, the injury (Matthews with a grade 3 MCL tear), and player history. The suspension came after a phone hearing (which can cap the penalty) rather than an in-person hearing, prompting criticism from Leafs officials and Matthews’ agent. Parros stressed openness to evolving the process through collaboration with GMs and the NHLPA.
