Big surprise at the Montreal Canadiens today, as it has just been confirmed by the organization that Arber Xhekaj will be making a return to the lineup tonight, against the Washington Capitals.
It's ultimately Jordan Harris who takes the fall and will have to watch the game from the press box.
This is definitely an unexpected turn of events, as number 72 of the CH was taking repetitions as the 7th defenseman in the team's practice yesterday.
Normally, this kind of hint suggests an almost certain absence for the upcoming game.
Given that the Sheriff has not made a good overall impression since his call-up to the big club, he will have to prove that the week off has set the clock right in his game.
