Arber Xhekaj Eyes Future Role During Playoff Opportunity

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj is set for an increased role during the playoffs following an injury to Noah Dobson. Having been in and out of the lineup throughout the season, Xhekaj faces a critical stretch to prove his value to the organization. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, this postseason opportunity is viewed as a pivotal moment for Xhekaj to demonstrate he belongs in the team's long-term future plans.
