Xhekaj's point drought reached 15 games in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Scouting Report
The undrafted defenseman earned an NHL job by laying out punishing checks in his own zone and standing up for teammates, but he is more than just a physical blueliner; he is showing he can also contribute offensively because of his skating ability and poise with the puck. He will have to avoid being baited into penalties by opponents who hope to use his toughness against him.
Long Range Potential: Rugged defenseman with upside.
