TRENDING: Arber Xhekaj Plows Into Referee After His Goalie Gets Ran Into

A rather unprecedented scene occurred during the game between the Canadiens and the Panthers, as an opposing player made solid contact with Samuel Montembeault.

Seeing the speed at which the Sheriff arrived to have a word with Rodrigues, let's just say it would have probably ended very badly for the latter.

Here are some images of the scene:

This provides a vivid description of an on-ice incident involving Arber Xhekaj and Evan Rodrigues during a Canadiens vs. Panthers game, emphasizing the potential for a more serious confrontation if not for the timely intervention of an official.
