Arber Xhekaj’s unlikely road to the NHL is about more than just not being drafted. The Habs rookie learned about fighting for opportunities from his parents’ unbelievable journey. Elliotte Friedman sits down with all three to get the whole story.
This one is a must-see.

Kid is an absolute beauty and tough as nails. League needs more wifi
Ducks fan here and much respect! I cannot hate this kid lol. Always love hearing the rags to riches stories and how a kid no one knew about gets an opportunity and shines!

Legend in the making
I'm a huge Bruins fan but I love this kid. Would absolutely love to have him on my team. Reminds me of a lot of Milan Lucic. Son of immigrants. Tough dude with an edge on the ice. But by all accounts, a great human being. Love the rivalry between the two franchises. Hope the Habs can return to the team they were at the recent height of their rivalry. See you on Sunday!
