Canadiens call up Florian Xhekaj from AHL’s Laval Rocket
“He plays a heavy game, but he also can fight,” St. Louis said about Xhekaj during training camp. “When I talk about sandpaper, I don’t necessarily think about we need guys that can fight. But we need guys that can bring a physical presence and if there is moments like that those guys can totally handle it. But I don’t judge Flo just on that, just like Arber. I think it’s a bonus if they can do that, but can they actually play the game that’s in front of them and be a contributor to the five men on the ice and all the actions you have to take as a hockey player, on and off the puck on both sides of the puck, offensively and defensively?
