After receiving an unsportsmanlike penalty during a scrum on Saturday against Toronto, Canadiens defenceman Arber Xhekaj said he isn't mad that he was the only one to receive a penalty from the skirmish, but is more upset that teammate Kirby Dach was punched in the face by Leafs forward Brandon Duhaime who didn't have his glove on, and it's something he will remember.

It's got to fight for one another."
