Xhekaj had three hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over St. Louis.
Xhekaj was a healthy scratch for two straight games before returning to action in Saturday's victory. He got to play due to the absences of Justin Barron (upper body) and Kaiden Guhle (upper body). Xhekaj could get regular playing time due to Montreal's banged-up blue line. He has 13 hits over six appearances.
