Arber Xhekaj sought revenge last night as the Montreal Canadiens defenseman took Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle's head off with a brutal hit.

Stutzle was taken off of the ice and Xhekaj was thrown out of the game. This happened just a few days after Xhekaj was fined for what he did to Cedric Pare of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was a reckless hit and was another example of Xhekaj being a bit too overzealous with his tough guy approach to the game.
Following the hit, fans were expecting some sort of disciplinary action. After all, Xhekaj just got fined for beating someone up. You would assume that the league would try to make an example out of the player since he did something arguably worse, just a couple of days later.
Well, you will be shocked to know that it would appear as though absolutely nothing is going to be coming of this. According to Eric Engels, no supplemental discipline is going to be coming out of last night's game, which was filled to the brim with antics.
If you are a Senators fan, this is incredibly frustrating. If you are a Habs fan, this is music to your ears, Either way, a lot is going to be said about his, moving forward.
Do you believe that Xhekaj deserved some sort of fine or suspension? Let us know in the poll down below and stay tuned to Hockey Unplugged for the latest news and updates from around the hockey world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite players and teams.
