We just got our answer regarding Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj.
It confirms what Georges Laraque mentioned earlier, but Martin St-Louis quickly addressed the matter at the start of his press conference.
He doesn't want to change his winning lineup, and so, Arber Xhekaj will NOT be in uniform tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Sheriff will once again be scratched.
It's starting to be a long stay in the press box for Xhekaj, who surely isn't enjoying this.
A verdict from Martin St-Louis regarding Arber Xhekaj
The Canadiens' head coach has indeed confirmed there will be no changes to his lineup, unfortunately for Xhekaj.
No changes to the Canadiens' lineup tonight, so Sam Montembeault in goal, Oliver Kapanen will wait.

This confirms that Arber Xhekaj will not play tonight, Joshua Roy will not play tonight, Oliver Kapanen will not play tonight, while Michael Pezzetta and Jayden Struble will be in uniform.
Has Pezzetta become a.. regular Canadiens player again?
In any case, Martin St-Louis once again had very kind words for Pezzetta, who he seems to genuinely appreciate more and more.
More details to follow.
