Weal continues to battle the flu and will miss his third straight game on Thursday. Ryan Poehling had been replacing him in the lineup but now it's believed that Poehling is also sick.
Mete missed Tuesday's game in New Jersey with an illness but is expected to play vs. the Ducks. This is good news for the Canadiens, who announced they'll be without Shea Weber for at least one week this morning.
There is no indication what Poehling is dealing with but a flu bug has been going through the Habs room, so it could be that. Consider Poehling a game-time decision and monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.

He is a solid spot-start option the Red Wings in town.
