  1. Overall super interesting game from Xhekaj, he's doing precisely what MSL and his staff seem to have asked him to work on : tuning down on the excess agressivity in order to focus much more on the best possible play with and without the puck. The number of very good passes he had for Roy, Heineman or Gignac in this game that's very promising. More of that and he'll get the call back up.
