Major announcement regarding Xhekaj and Rempe ahead of tonight's game

As the Montreal Canadiens face off against Matt Rempe and the New York Rangers tonight, Martin St-Louis has made an announcement.

Arber Xhekaj and Kaiden Guhle will unfortunately miss this confrontation, which is obviously a big disappointment for many fans.

Arber Xhekaj and Kaiden Guhle out, Matt Rempe in!

Kaiden Guhle and Arber Xhekaj will indeed miss a second consecutive game.

This means that the showdown between the Sheriff and Rempe will be missed, even though the latter will indeed be in uniform tonight. It will be quite the challenge for Michael Pezzetta.


Rempe, 6 feet 7 inches and 245 pounds, is a 21-year-old right winger. He has accumulated 2 points and 69 penalty minutes in 14 games this season.

Xhekaj, 6 feet 4 inches and 240 pounds, is a 23-year-old left-handed defenseman. He has accumulated 10 points and 81 penalty minutes in 44 games this season.

It's really unfortunate, but it's settled, Xhekaj will be out.
