Center Stephen Weiss stayed off the ice for the fourth straight day as he battles what is believed to be a minor groin injury. Weiss isn't expected to practice Saturday but said he'll definitely be back Monday in preparation for the season opener.
Weiss is a tough customer who labored through last season despite being day-to-day almost everyday. The team's top-line center posted back-to-back 60-point seasons before falling to 49 last year. He should be able to reach the 60-point plateau once again with a better supporting cast.
