Two Heavyweights Go Toe-To-Toe That Results In Massive Knockout
Arber Xhekaj, known for his heavyweight status in the league, has undoubtedly carved a niche for himself. With an impressive resume under his belt, this sophomore athlete is continually striving to prove his mettle.
In a recent game, Xhekaj aimed to bolster his reputation further, but faced a setback. The catalyst for this was Tanner Jeannot's thunderous hit on the former first overall pick, Juraj Slafkovsky. Xhekaj, ever the proactive player, decided to take matters into his own hands.
In his pursuit of Jeannot, Xhekaj got the fight he desired. Both players dropped the gloves, and the spirited bout ended with both receiving 5-minute majors for fighting. Unfortunately for Xhekaj, this tussle didn't provide the spark he had hoped for.
Despite his efforts, the Habs found themselves trailing 4-0 after two periods. It was a valiant effort but one that didn't yield the desired result for Xhekaj and his team.
