Canadiens’ Florian Xhekaj: Strong in return to AHL
Xhekaj scored twice and added an assist in AHL Laval’s 5-2 win over Belleville on Friday.
After a stint in the NHL, Xhekaj had his best game of the AHL campaign in his return to Laval. He’s at four goals and seven points, as well as 44 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 17 appearances for the Rocket this season. Xhekaj could be a candidate to fill a depth role with the Canadiens again at some point this season.
