In today's news, the Montreal Canadiens announced that defenseman Arber Xhekaj will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.

This season, the Canadiens have faced disappointment, missing the playoffs for the third consecutive year.

However, amidst the struggles, young prospects like Arber Xhekaj have shown promise. Known for his toughness, Xhekaj's season took a setback with the news of his upcoming surgery. Although he'll miss the rest of the season, the Canadiens expect him back next year.

Defenseman Arber Xhekaj will undergo season-ending surgery to his left shoulder tomorrow. He is expected to be ready for next season.




Xhekaj played 44 games this season, scoring 3 goals and 7 assists for 10 points. His plus-6 rating is notable given the team's challenges.

We wish Xhekaj a speedy recovery this offseason!
