\t\t\t\tThe rumour involving Arber Xhekaj<\/a> appears to have officially been confirmed before Game 4 between the Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

The physical defenseman is clearly set to spend another game in the stands.<\/p>\n

And it is exactly the kind of scenario generating major discussion today!<\/p>\n

Pat Guillet shared the official information on social media.<\/p>\n

An observation that is almost never misleading.<\/p>\n

Arber Xhekaj will apparently have to wait a little longer while watching Game 4 against the Hurricanes from the stands<\/p>\n

Why are we drawing that conclusion?<\/p>\n

And it is exactly the kind of signal showing that the defenseman still is not part of Martin St-Louis’ immediate plans.<\/p>\n

For Arber Xhekaj personally, it is probably a difficult period to go through, considering how badly he wants to contribute, but it is obviously out of his control for the moment.<\/p>\n

It will definitely be a situation to monitor, but the news was not particularly encouraging for Xhekaj today in Brossard.<\/p>\n
