There Was A Heavyweight Tilt In Montreal Tonight!

Xhekaj dropped the mitts with Arizona Coyotes Zach Kassian; the 6'3, 215lbs veteran, who is no stranger to the fisticuffs. Xhekaj dominated the big man and rag-dolled him to ice, leaving Kassian dazed and confused.

It likely won't be Xhekaj's last tilt in the NHL and don't be surprised if he wins the title as the NHL's undisputed heavyweight champion soon.

Xhekaj signed a three year contract with Montreal prior to the start of the season and will be patrolling their blue line for the next three seasons, minimum.
