Montreal Canadiens Face Critical Countdown: Will Zack Bolduc and Arber Xhekaj Stay or Go?
Stick around, because the ink’s barely drying on these contracts, and the Canadiens’ lineup puzzle is far from solved.
The 23-year-old Zack Bolduc will be entering his fourth NHL season, third full-time. His numbers took a small step back in his first season with the Montreal Canadiens, 12 goals and 18 assists in 78 games, after a 19-goal, 17-assist rookie season with the St. Louis Blues.
The 25-year-old Arber Xhekaj is coming off a two-year deal with a $1.3 million cap hit. The rugged defenseman saw his ice time drop last season and was a healthy scratch at times. You’re not looking at Xhekaj for offense, but his physical game is what teams desire.
