With all that happened during training camp, with the negative comments and surprises, many Montreal Canadiens fans were worried about not seeing Arber Xhekaj in the lineup to start the season.

It's worth noting that some experts didn't rule out the possibility of Xhekaj starting the season with the Laval Rocket, especially because of the surplus of left-handed defensemen in the lineup.

In short, despite all this, it would be confirmed for Xhekaj.

He would indeed be with the Canadiens for the inaugural match on October 11th against the Maple Leafs.

Even this morning, just a few days before the start of the season, during practice, Xhekaj was regularly paired with the young Jordan Harris.

Here are the defensive pairings used during the practice:

"First pairing: Mike Matheson -- David Savard

Second pairing: Kaiden Guhle -- Jonathan Kovacevic

Third pairing: Jordan Harris -- Arber Xhekaj

Fourth pairing: Mattias Norlinder -- Justin Barron

Extra: Gustav Lindstrom"

So, Xhekaj would be on the third pairing to start the season, which is obviously excellent news.
