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.
"Arber Xhekaj was given a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the match - the officials did not want the penalty section of the Canadiens' scoresheet to be empty."
Via Priyanta Emrith
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.
