Montreal Canadiens forward Max Domi will have a hearing Thursday for his punch to Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad on Wednesday, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced.
Domi - who was making his Canadiens preseason debut - was assessed a two-minute minor for roughing and a match penalty after punching an unsuspecting Ekblad early in the third period of Wednesday's preseason contest.
