Weegar (upper body) will miss Saturday's game against the Red Wings, Alain Poupart of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taking Weegar's place on Florida's top defensive pairing will be Mark Pysyk. While nothing is confirmed beyond Saturday's contest, don't expect Weegar to be in the Panthers' lineup Sunday versus the Canadiens.

Weegar (undisclosed) is "not likely" to play in Saturday's game against the Red Wings, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar didn't participate in Saturday's morning skate, so it's unlikely he suits up. Mark Pysyk is expected to bump up to the top line in Weegar's place. If Weegar is indeed ruled out for Saturday's game, he'll likely carry a similar doubtful tag into Sunday's matchup against the Canadiens.

Weegar picked up a helper in Monday's 6-1 win over Ottowa.

EDGE Analysis

The assist came on Noel Acciari's third of the night to cap off his first career hattrick. Weegar's offense has sputtered a bit since the beginning of the season, only picking up two assists since returning from a facial injury on Nov. 30. He still anchors the top pairing with Aaron Ekblad however, averaging 19:35 in ice time and scoring 12 points in 25 games this season.

Weegar recorded an assist in a 5-1 win over the Sharks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After a great start to the season Weegar was sidelined for eight games after being hit in the head by a puck. Now back in the lineup and flanking Aaron Ekblad on the top pairing, Weegar looks to pick up where he left off. The 25-year-old has put up three goals and 11 points in 21 games so far this season.

Weegar (face) will return for Saturday's matchup with the Predators, Alain Pouart of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar has missed the past eight games with a facial injury, but he'll return to face the Predators on Saturday and is expected to skate on Florida's second defensive pairing, alongside Anton Stralman.

Weegar (face) will make the trip to Washington for Wednesday's matchup with the Capitals, but he won't play, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar will miss an eighth straight contest Wednesday, but he's clearly trending in the right direction. Once healthy, the 25-year-old, who's notched 10 points in 17 games this campaign, will return to a top-four role.

Weegar (face) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sabres, David Work of WPLG Local 10 News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news was expected as Weegar continues to recover from taking a puck to the side of his head Nov. 10. The skilled blueliner has been skating with the team, however, so he'll aim to get back to full health for Wednesday's matchup against the Capitals.

Weegar (face) resumed skating Wednesday, but he's not expected to be ready to rejoin the lineup until next week, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's safe to assume that Weegar will miss the Panthers' next three games, but he could be an option for Wednesday's matchup with Washington if he continues to make positive strides in his recovery over the weekend. Fantasy owners should plan on keeping a close eye on the 25-year-old blueliner's status leading up to that contest, as he's been highly productive when healthy this season, racking up three goals and 10 points in 17 appearances.

Weegar (face) remains a week away from returning to the lineup, David Work of WPLG Local 10 News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news effectively rules Weegar out for the Panthers' next three games. The Ottawa native was rolling with 10 points in 17 games prior to getting hurt. Despite not logging any significant power-play minutes, the blueliner is putting together his best offensive season and could challenge for the 30-point mark.

Weegar (face), as expected, won't be in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday, George Richards of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar didn't require a visit to the hospital after getting hit in the head with a puck and remains with the team, but won't be in action Tuesday. The blueliner should be considered day-to-day at this point heading into Thursday's clash with Winnipeg. Prior to getting hurt, the Ottawa native was bogged down in a seven-game goal drought, though he did notch four assists and 14 shots over that stretch.
