Martin St-Louis made a questionable decision before the last game against the St. Louis Blues, by excluding the Sheriff from the lineup, against a team that is known for playing a robust style.
As expected, the game was quite physical, and the absence of Xhekaj was felt by the Canadiens. Hopefully, the coach has learned his lesson.
This will be an important opportunity for the 23-year-old defenseman to definitively make his mark within the defensive squad, especially since he has been overlooked several times since his recall from Laval.
