Given that the start of the month, Arber Xhekaj has actually been on the relocation to Laval. He’s with the Rocket to deal with specific elements of his video game and, above all, to end up being a much better protector in general.
Xhekaj understands: he’s here to enhance and, above all, to end up being a defenseman efficient in playing 20 minutes a video game in the NHL
And while the Habs possibility appeared like a deeply indifferent guy in his very first couple of video games in Laval, he appears to be getting comfy nowadays. Today, for instance, he was seen managing 2 opposing gamers in a scrum …

As well as getting his mojo back, Xhekaj is beginning to acquire the points at a quite fascinating rate. When once again today, he discovered the back of the internet with a great shot on the power play.
Exceptionally, he’s now had 4 straight video games with a minimum of one point. He now has 8 points (2 objectives) in 10 video games.
What’s quite unique, however, is that he’s not the only gamer called Xhekaj who scored at precisely 4:11 pm.
Due to the fact that at the exact same time, his little bro Florian scored one in the OHL. That’s rather uncommon.
The 2 bros, who are both Canadian potential customers, made their mom extremely happy.
And her mom, in truth, highlighted this minute of success for her 2 kids.

Returning to the Rocket video game, Laval won rather convincingly versus the Crunch by a rating of 4-1. In addition to Xhekaj, the other scorers were Sean Farrell, Jan Mysak and Joshua Roy.
Jakub Dobes, making his 2nd start in 3 days, was strong, conserving 25 of 26 shots.
The Rocket will delight in a couple of day of rests before going back to action in 2024. Its next video game is arranged for January 5, and we’ll see whether Xhekaj will still exist or whether he’ll be remembered by the Canadiens.
I believe he’ll remain in Laval, however we’ll need to wait and see.
In gusto

— Connor Hellebuyck is on fire.
League average conserve portion is down to.903 and Connor Hellebuyck has actually gone listed below.920 in a video game simply two times in the previous 6 weeks lol

— Let’s hope he prevented the worst.
The Rocket lost Nathan Légaré early in the 2nd duration and he will not be back in the video game. We’ll finish the video game with 11 forwards.

— It’s going to be a huge video game for Germany tomorrow.
After remarkably beating Finland in their 1st video game, Germany lost 6-2 to Latvia.
Unless they get a ranking point versus Canada tomorrow, they’ll need to play a transfer match versus Norway#MondialJunior #RDS
