The Xhekaj family experienced a special moment last night at the Bell Centre, as Florian and Arber were both in uniform for the Montreal Canadiens.
Sources had reported (in recent hours) that this was unprecedented and that the two brothers had never played a single game together.
It's now confirmed, and it also confirms this..
The Canadiens had therefore made the deliberate decision not to put Florian and Arber in the lineup.. until last night!
Florian Xhekaj confirms that last night was his very first game with his big brother Arber
It ultimately turned out to be a great decision by the Habs to insert Florian Xhekaj into the forward lineup last night, since the young player had an excellent game.
Florian Xhekaj on playing a Habs game with his big brother Arber tonight:
"I mean obviously it was our first ever game together. I was pretty pumped up going into this. To both get a goal is pretty special."

What a moment for this wonderful family!
Arber also opened up on his first game with his younger brother Florian:
Simona Xhekaj also made an emotional statement after watching her two sons play together on the big stage for the first time.
The next question is this..
Will both of them be in Martin St-Louis's lineup to start the season?
Are they about to play their very first regular season game together, against the Toronto Maple Leafs, no less?
One thing is certain, both are having an excellent start to camp, and both are doing everything they can to make their dream of playing together in the NHL come true.
