Xhekaj scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added five PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth.
Xhekaj has a goal and two assists over his last three games, as well as 12 PIM and six hits. The 25-year-old defenseman has gotten the chance to play regularly on the third pairing this season. He offers plenty of toughness with 30 PIM, 23 hits and 13 blocked shots over 15 outings, but the offense is still a work in progress.
