At the press conference after Saturday night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Florian Xhekaj revealed some sad information.
During his fight with Dakota Mermis, he lost an extremely precious object.
That also explains why he went back onto the ice several times, including during commercial breaks, as he clearly seemed to be searching for something.
"It's a medallion that is very, very dear to the Xhekaj family, since it represents the culture of his father's country of birth," emphasized TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie on the NHL post-game show.
Last summer, Jack Xhekaj, an Albanian, gave a medallion to his two sons as he returned from a trip to his native country.
At the time of writing, it still had not been found, even though it is very possible that an official picked it up from the ice."

Let's really hope he finds it, because yes, it affects him, yes, it makes him sad, and yes, it was an extremely sentimental object for him.
When he talked about it on TVA Sports, you could clearly see how upset he was about losing his medallion.
In short, to be continued!
A memorable first weekend for Florian Xhekaj with the Montreal Canadiens
Speaking of the younger Xhekaj brother, it's clear he made a very good first impression on his teammates and certainly on his bosses as well.
Let us also recall why Florian went after Dakota Mermis in the first place:
What an eventful game for Xhekaj!
With the arrival of forward Alexandre Texier, Florian Xhekaj will have to continue to stand out if he wants to stay in Montreal.
I'm very eager to see what comes next for the Montreal Canadiens forward.
