In Saturday night's game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens, Arber Xhekaj finally found his man in Nicolas Deslauriers. A battle that the Canadiens rookie lost for the first time in his young career.

TVA Sports reporter Renaud Lavoie noted that Deslauriers spoke to Xhekaj after the fight and asked the Canadiens' defenseman what the two men said to each other.

"Look what happens at the end of the fight, Nicolas Deslauriers falls on Arber Xhekaj and he talks to him. I asked Arber Xhekaj what Nicolas Deslauriers was saying to him? He is a very classy person. He thanked him for the fight, congratulated him and told him to continue what he was doing, because he really liked what he was doing in the NHL." - Renaud Lavoie

Arber Xhekaj is becoming more and more respected in the Bettman circuit and a guy with as much class as Deslauriers pointed out. This is where you see that despite the thankless job of being a big man in this league, there is a very powerful respect between two opponents most of the time.
