WOW: Arber Xhekaj just set a new record for the Canadiens this season
You read that right.
With his goal scored Saturday night against the Washington Capitals, Arber Xhekaj indeed broke a record for the Canadiens in this 2023-24 season.
Watch the sequence in question:
Arber Xhekaj with an incredible cannon shot. 102.2 mph according to Sportsnet." - Via Arpon Basu
And this 102.2 mph shot has officially become the most powerful of the 2023-24 season for the Montreal Canadiens. Solid!
The previous mark had been set by Mike Matheson:
NHL Edge data indicates that the previous Canadiens record this season was 100.66 mph, by Mike Matheson." - Via Eric Engels
It shows just how powerful the Sheriff's shot is! It's worthy of the likes of Shea Weber and Zdeno Chara, especially in the middle of a game!
