Arber Xhekaj recorded an assist, six hits, two blocked shots, and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 victory over the Red Wings. The physical defenseman also finished the contest with a plus-2 rating.
Fantasy Impact
Xhekaj's fantasy value is derived almost exclusively from his physicality. He was limited to just six points last season but racked up 180 hits and 118 PIM. Thursday's performance was a perfect example of what he brings to the table. While he has no value in points-only leagues, Xhekaj is a premium streaming option and a solid roster addition in deep banger formats that heavily reward hits and penalty minutes.
