Arber Xhekaj undergoes season-ending shoulder surgery

In breaking news today, Arber Xhekaj will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, as announced by the Montreal Canadiens.

The Montreal Canadiens have had a somewhat disappointing season this year, and are slated to miss the playoffs for their third season in a row. Despite that, they have some young prospects who are learning the way and are continuously improving. One of those players is Arber Xhekaj, a big defenseman known for his toughness.

However, Xhekaj will face some adversity, as the Canadiens announced today that he will face season-ending shoulder surgery. He will miss the remainder of the season but is expected to be back for next year.





Xhekaj played in 44 games this season for the Montreal Canadiens, posting 3 goals and 7 assists for 10 points. More impressively, he had a plus-6 rating, which is impressive considering the Canadiens' struggles.

We wish the best for Xhekaj in his recovery this offseason!
