The Montreal Canadiens re-signed defenceman Arber Xhekaj to a two-year, $2.6-million contract, the team announced Tuesday.
In 44 games last season, Xehaj had 10 points and was second on the team in plus/minus. He also lead all defenceman on the Canadiens with 125 hits.
The 23-year-old was signed as an undrafted free agent in October 2021.
