We were treated to a big moment on Wednesday night during the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Winnipeg Jets involving Arber Xhekaj.
The Sheriff delivered his best fight of the season, immediately came to the defense of his teammate, Alexandre Carrier, and handed Adam Lowry a beating.
Watching the footage, it's pretty clear that this sequence did Xhekaj a world of good. Plainly put, he needed that one.

But we also got a special moment right before, and right after, the fight between Xhekaj and Lowry.
Before squaring up with Lowry-confirmed to me as well by a source at the Bell Centre seated right behind the Habs bench-Arber Xhekaj shot a meaningful, knowing look toward Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens' bench.

You love to see it.
Martin St-Louis recently mentioned that he has full trust in Arber Xhekaj in these situations, and that small, knowing look between the two of them (before and after the fight) proves it clearly.
St-Louis actually seemed quite proud of Xhekaj, as did the rest of the Canadiens' players.
Everyone knows that this convincing win lifted a huge weight off the Sheriff's shoulders, and Martin St-Louis was clearly happy for him.
