Xhekaj, 21, is still a young man in the NHL, but he's already building an impressive resume. After Austin Watson delivered a big hit on Kirby Dach, Xhekaj knew what he needed to do. Xhekaj immediately dropped the gloves with Watson.
Watson is a known tough guy across the NHL, but he looked absolutely unmatched against Xhekaj. During the pandemic Xhekaj worked at a Costco to make a living and it's clear the hours of slugging product have made off because he's showing off some real strength at the NHL level.
