Arber Xhekaj is a master in the art of physical play. The colossal defenseman hits hard with both his fists and his shoulders.

Indeed, it’s not just about being strong to deliver good body checks. Timing is crucial, and Xhekaj possesses both attributes.

It hurts when opponents skate his way, and a video from last night’s game demonstrates how impactful his hits can be.

In the game against the Red Wings, Xhekaj hit his opponent so hard that the light behind the net turned on.
