It obviously happened last night during the season opener at the Bell Centre.
Speaking on BPM Sports this morning, Renaud revealed that the Sheriff didn't need to drop the gloves to send a strong message to Max Domi.
We recall that last night, Max Domi and David Savard squared off multiple times, tensions flared, and things got out of hand.
In the end, David Savard came out on top.
As Renaud Lavoie recounted on BPM Sports this morning, during a commercial break, there was some heated discussion near the Montreal Canadiens' bench, as Domi really wanted to settle his score.
The TVA Sports journalist was positioned right between the two benches, saw everything, and revealed that Domi received a clear warning from Xhekaj: if he wanted to fight, it would be against him, not Savard.
After Xhekaj's intervention, Domi stayed quiet, and the issue was settled.
Need more proof of Arber Xhekaj's importance in the lineup? Well, here it is:
Let's not forget that Xhekaj will be in Martin St-Louis' lineup again tonight, this time against the Bruins, live from Boston.
