The NHL announces a change involving Arber Xhekaj

Many observers have pointed out that the Montreal Canadiens stayed off the penalty box last night against the St. Louis Blues. An achievement for them.

But not so fast.

A change on the scoresheet involving Xhekaj

The NHL has announced that defenseman Arber Xhekaj has been penalized for his action at the end of the game. A change from the initial scoresheet.



Since this happened at the very end of the game, Xhekaj could have been at risk of further sanctions (fines/suspensions), but this will ultimately not be the case here. Important to note.

The NHL did not see the need to further penalize Xhekaj. So there you go!

We still salute the Habs' major improvement in terms of discipline.
