Last-minute announcement from the Montreal Canadiens regarding six players, including Florian Xhekaj

Last-minute announcement from the Montreal Canadiens regarding six players, including Florian Xhekaj

BY DAVID ST-JEAN    SEPTEMBER 16, 2023  (5:00 PM)
Less than an hour before the Montreal Canadiens rookies' second game, this time against the Boston Bruins prospects, the Habs' management made the following announcement:

"Players scratched for the 2nd of 3 games:

Reinbacher
Trudeau
Farrell
Beck
Parker-Jones
Xhekaj
Dobes" - Patrick Friolet, RDS

Dobes is obviously the goalie, but there are still six changes among the skaters.


It's unfortunate because having a Xhekaj in the game is always great for the spectacle, and we were looking forward to seeing him in action again, but it seems it will have to wait for another time.

Also, notable are the absences of David Reinbacher, William Trudeau, and Owen Beck, who performed well yesterday against the Buffalo Sabres prospects.

Speaking of a possible reduction in the show, John Parker-Jones, who was likely the most physical on the ice yesterday, will also be in the stands.

The 6-foot-7, 230-pound giant is also sitting this one out.
