We have an update regarding Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj.
He has just received more bad news, as he is ONCE AGAIN removed from the lineup, even though the team lost its last game against the Ottawa Senators.
This clearly reveals Martin St-Louis' plan for ending the season, and it's clear that Xhekaj is not part of it.
