Major update from the Canadiens regarding Arber Xhekaj: the news is not good for him but is not catastrophic either
Following the injury sustained by Arber Xhekaj yesterday, who did not finish the game against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Montreal Canadiens have just announced this.
«Defenseman Arber Xhekaj is being evaluated day-to-day due to an upper body injury.»
- Montreal Canadiens
Please also note that Xhekaj is unfortunately absent from today's training, which is obviously not good news, but it's not catastrophic either.
A "day-to-day evaluation" is far from the worst scenario.
More details will follow.
