As you probably already know, defenseman Arber Xhekaj left in the second period of the game against the Edmonton Oilers this afternoon.

We remind you that the CH number 72 was injured during his fight with Quebecer Vincent Desharnais in the second period. He went back to the dressing room directly after the fight.

The rookie unfortunately did not return to the game afterwards, being clearly bothered by an important injury.

Veteran RDS reporter Francois Gagnon said it clearly looked like a right shoulder separation.

This hypothesis makes a lot of sense, as TVA Sports reporter Marc-Andre Perreault mentioned afterwards that Xhekaj was seen with a splint on his right shoulder when he returned to the dressing room.

This is the kind of injury that could greatly compromise his season, as it was the case for Cole Caufield earlier in 2023, when the young star had to undergo surgery for a shoulder injury as well.

Hopefully it won't be too serious for him.

More details to follow.
