Arber Xhekaj will have his hands full, and he might need assistance

This year, although he has dropped the gloves a few times, it's much quieter on that front. He is focusing more on playing the game while still protecting his teammates when needed.

At the time of writing, Michael Pezzetta is not expected to be in the lineup tonight against the Coyotes. However, Xhekaj may well need his assistance, as the home team has two tough guys in their lineup.

Jack McBain and Liam O'Brien are both powerhouses and have engaged in fights against the Chicago Blackhawks.

One thing is for sure, they won't hesitate to target the Canadiens players, and Xhekaj may have a more challenging job to do as an enforcer.
