Head Coach Dave Tippett thinks it will take Domi a few games to regain his form.
"It'll take him some time to get back up and going at full speed again," Tippett said before the game. "That goes with any injury of this length. It's just part of the process."
• Goalie Mike Smith, who stopped 22 of 26 shots, set a new franchise record for career saves. Smith entered the game trailing Bob Essensa's record of 8,055 saves by 13. He passed Essensa in the second period, and is now the franchise leader with 8,064.
• Playing with Shane Doan and Brendan Perlini, Christian Dvorak notched a goal and an assist on Thursday, his 21st birthday. It was just the second multi-point game of his NHL career.
Trailing 3-1, Dvorak and Perlini, both rookies, scored their goals within a 1:27 span of the second period.
"There is a lot of speed on our line and we started to use that, started to move our feet, started to make some plays," Dvorak said. "We got a couple bounces to get us back in the game, but it was a little too late."
