We’re used to Arber Xhekaj’s fights, but today it was Florian Xhekaj who stole the show, scoring earlier in the game. But the youngster really wants to impress his brother… or his mother… or the Canadiens… or everyone in the end. In the second period, he threw down the gloves against none other than Nicolas Deslauriers.

Well, the result wasn’t necessarily the most conclusive for Arber’s little brother, but hats off to his determination. The Québécois is 30 pounds heavier than he is… Florian is just one pass away from a Gordie Howe hat trick
Maybe I’ll have to add a colt to my gang… He did well against a real one though!
