Quebec forward Nicolas Deslauriers did indeed drop the gloves with young Florian Xhekaj tonight.
That means he has now dropped the gloves against Arber AND Florian Xhekaj over the past year..
It should be noted that Deslauriers has been doing this for more than 12 seasons, that he is one of the best fighters in the entire NHL, and therefore, that he dominated the young Xhekaj.
However, what must absolutely be highlighted is what he did toward the end of the fight.
Nicolas Deslauriers completely stopped the fight when Florian Xhekaj started getting into trouble
Hats off to D-Lo for that!
"I have enormous respect for Nicolas Deslauriers. This is what respecting the game is.
Even in a fight.
Respecting the opponent without piling on when he's in trouble. Even a little tap on the helmet as a sign of respect.
A true one!"

A very beautiful gesture!
"Respect kid, and a lot of respect to Deslauriers for not giving Florian more at the end (no more than the opponent asked for)."
And there are several comments like this on social media.
"Deslauriers held back, knowing he was facing a young player."
Indeed, no need to hit a player in a bad position.
"Respect to Deslauriers for stopping his punches when Florian went down."
Most of these comments were gathered on social media and reflect extremely well what I think about it!
A true class act from Deslauriers!
