Weiss looks like he'll be a healthy scratch for Thursday's season opener against the Bruins, MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports. Weiss didn't practice Wednesday on any of the top four lines or on any of the Wings' special teams units, a sign he'll be bound for the press box Thursday. The former 60-point scorer has appeared in just 43 games combined over the past two seasons, and though he's now healthy, the 31-year-old seems to be on the downside of his career. It may prove exceedingly difficult for Weiss to reemerge as the second-line center the Wings were counting on him to be when they signed him to a five-year contract in 2013.
