Mikey Eyssimont embarrasses Arber Xhekaj and takes him down
In the closing moments of the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Tampa Bay Lightning, tensions flared with Arber Xhekaj once again in the mix
In a surprising turn of events, Mikey Eyssimont, known as the Sheriff, intervened after his teammate Brandon Hagel got injured. However, the twist came when it was revealed that Hagel was accidentally hit by his own teammate, Steven Stamkos, not by Xhekaj.
Eyssimont had an impressive game with a goal and an assist in a 7-4 victory over the Canadiens, along with picking up four penalty minutes (PIM). His goal showcased his determination as he pushed the score to 2-1 in the first period by jamming the puck past Cayden Primeau.
This incident highlights Eyssimont's loyalty to his teammates, as he passionately defends them on the ice. Despite the misunderstanding, Eyssimont's performance underscores why he's a valuable asset to his team, with his goal marking his 11th of the season.
With the win, the Lightning closed the gap to just two points behind the Maple Leafs in the Atlantic Division standings.
