Yesterday, stalwart Arber Xhekaj had an excellent game. I mentioned him in my first text of the morning, but I wanted to take a closer look at his case. What made him so good? His second goal in as many games, of course. He’s becoming more and more confident with his shot, which is great […]

The goaltending market will be extremely interesting to follow over the next few weeks. We’ve already told you about Jacob Markstrom, the one who would have agreed to be traded to the Devils… In the end, the deal didn’t go through, but we shouldn’t write off a trade between the Devils and the Flames. After […]

Worse: once there, many established players want to leave. Sergei […]

In the 22-23 season, there were many rookies in Montreal. Especially among defensemen! Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, Justin Barron and Arber Xhekaj were all in their first full season in the National League… And we can even include Johnathan Kovacevic in the discussion, even though he’s older than the others .
