Arber Xhekaj has one of the most powerful shots in the NHL and it’s not talked about enough
Auteur: David MillerHe likes to use his body to hit the opposition, and that’s why he’s such a valuable member of the Canadiens’ roster.
It’s not often we talk about it, but we mustn’t forget that his slap shot reached 107.2 mph at the last Habs skills competition.

What’s interesting is that his wrist shot is also of great quality.
Perhaps one day, the Habs might even be tempted to use Xhekaj and his shot on the power play, circumstances permitting…

The reason is simple: when we talk about Arber Xhekaj, it’s mostly because he made a big check… Or it’s because he fought.
Overtime
– Bromance!
The Arber Xhekaj & Juraj Slafkovsky bromance is stronger than ever folks
