After scoring his first career playoff goal and proving his toughness in 13 postseason games, Xhekaj brings exactly what the Habs need: physicality, hustle, and a willingness to mix it up. With just 33 points in 230 NHL games, he’s not a scorer — but his impact on the ice is undeniable. This short-term contract lets Montreal evaluate him while giving Xhekaj a shot at bigger rewards down the road. In a league that still values heart over stats, this signing signals the Canadiens are building for tomorrow — with a player who’s already earned his place in the present.
