Arber Xhekaj manhandles two Bruins players to help his teammate and the video goes viral
It's always interesting to watch the work of young defenseman Arber Xhekaj between whistles, who always goes above and beyond to lend a big hand to his teammates.
Last night against the Boston Bruins, a video caused a stir because Xhekaj once again took care of subduing two players at the same time.
It's practically becoming a trademark for him.
When Jake Evans found himself targeted by two Bruins players, the 'Sheriff' stepped in and single-handedly took both opponents off his teammate's back.
"I have to laugh every time I see Arber Xhekaj of the Habs grab two opposing players in a scuffle and drag them away. Strong as a bull." - Stu Cowan
The time when Dustin Byfuglien did it is still iconic today, but Xhekaj does it practically on a regular basis.
