Florian Xhekaj is seen taking care of buinsess in this pre season fight.

As rookie preseason games are taking place across the league, tensions are certainly rising in the case of the Montreal Canadiens prospects. During a game with the Toronto Maple Leafs young stars, Florian is seen dropping the gloves against Chaz Sharpe.

According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, two minutes into a Leafs and Habs rookie tournament game today, Florian Xhekaj grabbed Leafs prospect Chaz Sharpe and laid a beating down. Right after the fight, a fan camera saw Xhekaj let out a primal scream after the fight.

Florian Xhekaj is the brother of Montreal Canadiens defenceman Arber Xhekaj, who also has a reputation for being one of the strongest young fighters in the NHL. The Habs drafted Florian in the fourth round of the 2023 Draft, and the 20 year old forward has already begun playing games for the AHL's Laval Rocket. If the Habs call up both the Xhekaj brothers in the lineup, they could be one of the most physically feared teams in the NHL. The two Xhekaj's are literally regular smash brothers.

The Oilers prospects on the other hand will be looking for a better performance tonight. They play the Flames young stars in Penticton BC, at 8:30 pm.
