Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
Arber Xhekaj has been tied to injury updates in late 2024 and 2025, with reports around shoulder issues affecting his season outlook at times. Some outlets described season-ending implications in particular seasons, though timelines have varied by report. This reflects ongoing concerns about his health and availability for Montréal.[1][2][3]
Coverage has also focused on his role with the Canadiens and questions about roster spot and development, including chatter about his fit on the blue line and potential roster moves. These discussions have appeared in analysis pieces and fan-driven content over the past year.[2][6][7]
Beyond health and roster discussions, Xhekaj has drawn attention for notable on-ice moments (and occasionally controversial or attention-grabbing events) that have fed continued media and fan interest, including preseason stories and trade-interest discussions in various outlets.[4][6][8]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest article links or summarize a specific outlet’s take on Xhekaj from today, or set up a quick, comparison-style update (health status, role, and performance) with citations.
