Last-minute important announcement from the NHL regarding Arber Xhekaj and his fight
Confusion arose following Arber Xhekaj's fight with the Toronto Maple Leafs' giant, Ryan Reaves.
Following this, several analysts and journalists believed they heard that the Canadiens' defenseman was ejected from the game, based on the live announcement by the game's referee.
However, the NHL has just made an announcement to correct the misunderstanding. Xhekaj is not ejected; he simply received a 10-minute misconduct penalty and will be back in the second period.
«The referee announced a 'game misconduct', but it's ultimately a 10-minute penalty for Xhekaj. He will return in the second period.»
