Just when the Montreal Canadiens were on the verge of getting Jonathan Drouin and Paul Byron back, they lose another key member to the team.
Claude Julien broke the news at the team’s media scrum, saying that it’s a lower-body injury that will keep Weber out of the lineup. Apparently, there is swelling involved, and the team doesn’t know how serious the injury is. However, with the Habs placing the team captain on the injured-reserve, we know that he’ll be out for at least a week.
Weber has been having a phenomenal season with 13 goals and 21 assists in 55 games.
