It didn't take long, but we already have a noteworthy sequence as Arber Xhekaj is currently playing his very first career game in the AHL, against the Ottawa Senators' farm team.

"Bokondji Imama invites Arber Xhekaj to fight at the faceoff. Xhekaj declines. Play continues. Riley McKay grabs Angus Crookshank. Scuffle ensues involving Imama, McKay, and several players. Some roughness, but indiscipline on McKay's part."

We knew the Sens were going to try Xhekaj, we know they don't like him at all and they want to shake him up, so it didn't take long.

I think this was the first time I saw Xhekaj refuse a fight. He did very well on this one! It speaks volumes (positively) about his mindset and his game plan.
