Some very concerning news on Arber Xhekaj from the Canadiens today

This just in, the Montreal Canadiens have announced that forward Arber Xhekaj is out for the rest of the season while he recovers from shoulder surgery.

From the Canadiens:

This is especially concerning considering that Xhekaj had shoulder surgery last season, as well. Two shoulder surgeries, albeit one on each shoulder, has to be concerning for just a 23 year old player. There's no denying that Xhekaj plays a physical, hard hitting style but he may have to change his ways a bit if he wants to prolong his career.

The 23 year old Hamilton, Ontario native had three goals, 10 points and 81 penalty minutes in 44 games with the Habs this season.
