Florian Xhekaj scores in his first game playing with brother Arber and their Mom to tears
A touching moment for the Xhekaj family in Montreal tonight!
Brothers Florian and Arber Xhekaj are playing together with the Montreal Canadiens for the first time this evening... and boy oh boy are they putting on a show!
The 21 year old Florian is making his Habs debut this evening, playing alongside 24 year old Arber who has played parts of three seasons for the team. Prior to puck drop the brothers took a moment to get a lovely family photo taken.
How great is that?!
Even better though, the boys' Mother Simona Xhekaj made the trip to watch her boys together, posting on social media earlier today.
And, of course, you can't disappoint Mom.
Check out Florian scoring his first (unofficial) NHL goal in front of Mom, forcing her to tear up in the stands.
How can you not love this!?!?
