Arber Xhekaj has already developed a reputation as a tough guy in juniors, but he doesn't consider himself a fighter, just a ''hockey player who can fight''.
Last night he surely made a name for himself when he beat the crap out of one of the last very remaining NHL Heavyweights, Zack Kassian:

After the game, the 21 year old had this message for other ''tough guys'' in the NHL:
Xhekaj has been run in every game. I asked him specifically about that and whether or not he feels it's necessary to serve notice he won't be intimidated. He said it is, and then delivered this quote.� Eric Engels (@EricEngels) October 21, 2022
There are few remaining heavy weight fighters in the NHL, but Ryan Reaves, Nic Deslauiers and Tom Wilson will be his next targets if he wants to become the NHL Heavyweight Champ.
