Chaos in Montreal: Xhekaj ejected after controversial hit on Stutzle

There's more raucous in Habsland.
Montreal Canadiens enforcer Arber Xhekaj was handed a major penalty for a big hit on Senators star Tim Stutzle.

The kid was already fined
for his beatdown of Cedric Pare on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, after the AHLer collided with star Patrick Laine's knee, sidelining him for 2-3 months. Now against Ottawa, he's delivered another reckless act which should lead to another pocket hit.

Xhekaj's hit on Stutzle came well after the puck was gone and landed squarely to the head of the Sens' forward.

It was likely an act of revenge for what happened to Kirby Dach earlier, but the man fought for himself and dropped the gloves with Ridly Greig

After being ejected for his hit, Xhekaj still had unfinished business on the ice. Senators captain Brady Tkachuk quickly challenged him, leading to a fight before Xhekaj exited the game.

Right now, there's no word yet on Stutzle's condition, but the team announced Tkachuk sustained a upper-body injury and wouldn't return.

Stay tuned for updates as we learn more about Stutzle's condition and any further discipline for Xhekaj.
