MONTREAL - The Canadiens announced on Monday that defenseman Arber Xhekaj was activated off injured reserve and loaned to the Laval Rocket.
The 22-year-old blue-liner was placed on IR retroactively to his last game on Nov. 16, sidelined with an upper-body injury.
Xhekaj took part in today’s morning skate with the Habs as they prepared for their contest against the Kraken.
In 17 games, the Hamilton, ONT native has registered a goal and two assists so far this season.
