Weber (lower-body) is in danger of missing the rest of the 2020 regular season.

According to Nick Kypreos, Weber's season is likely over and his future is in question. The injury is reportedly related to his foot that was surgically repaired in 2018 and could require further surgery.

Weber (lower-body) is expected to miss at least one more week.

Weber will not play Monday vs. the Coyotes, won't travel on their brief two-game road trip (@BOS and @PIT) and is doubtful to play vs. the Stars when they return home on Saturday. So far, so good without Weber though, the Habs have gone 2-0 with two OT victories without their captain.

Weber (illness) is expected to play on Tuesday.

Weber missed Monday's practice and Tuesday's morning skate but head coach Claude Julien still expects him to play vs. the Blue Jackets.

Weber (face) is expected to play Tuesday after leaving Monday’s game.

Weber was hit in the face by a Mikael Granlund shot in the first period of Monday’s game. Weber ended up returning to the ice during the first but did not come back out for the second period. However, an X-ray showed no fracture to his cheek, so Weber is expected to play on Tuesday.

Weber has been activated from IR and will make his season debut on Tuesday.

Weber missed the first 24 games of the season but will make his debut vs. the Hurricanes on Tuesday. Weber will be back on the top pair and top power-play unit, which gives him immediate fantasy value. Weber is now 33-years-old but still owns a huge point shot. He had six goals and 16 points in 26 games last season, showcasing he can still be a double-digit goal-scorer with 20-plus assists if he stays healthy this season.
