The Montreal Canadiens and Martin St-Louis have just made a significant decision regarding Arber Xhekaj.
For the very first time this season, it can be said that the Sheriff has surpassed Justin Barron, and for the second game in a row, Xhekaj will be in the lineup while Barron will be watching from the stands.
Wow, this is quite a shift for Martin St-Louis and a huge vote of confidence for Arber Xhekaj.
Arber Xhekaj Returns to the Lineup While Justin Barron Seems to Be the Canadiens’ New 7th Defenseman
Now, it’s up to the robust 240-pound defenseman to seize this chance and make the most of this opportunity, for good.
This is an important decision from Martin St-Louis, one that speaks volumes.
«Justin Barron is once again scratched. Xhekaj and Struble will form the third pairing.
Xhekaj, 23 years old, is a 6-foot-4 left-handed defenseman. This season, he has 0 points in 9 games, with 12 penalty minutes and a -5 rating.
However, his impact on the team goes far beyond statistics and numbers.
As for Barron, who is 22 years old, he is a 6-foot-2, 198-pound right-handed defenseman. This season, he has 1 point in 8 games, with 6 penalty minutes and a -5 rating.
It really seems to come down to these two for a spot in the lineup, while Jayden Struble’s position appears to be secure for now.
Do you like this latest decision by Martin St-Louis? Do you think this could, unfortunately, mark the beginning of the end for Barron in Montreal?
Stay tuned for more details.
