Weegar (illness) will not suit up Monday against Montreal, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar will miss his first contest of the year after he was considered a game-time call Monday. The 28-year-old blueliner has six assists through 28 games this season. Connor Mackey will enter the lineup in his absence.

Weegar was absent from Monday's morning skate due to a non-COVID illness, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar has earned six assists, 50 shots on goal, 43 blocks and 63 hits in 28 games this season. If he is unable to play Monday against Montreal, Connor Mackey is projected to be in the lineup. Nikita Zadorov would move up to the second pairing alongside Chris Tanev in Weegar's place.

Weegar notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar set up Brett Ritchie's goal in the second period. The helper was Weegar's second in the last five games and his sixth of the season. While the 28-year-old has struggled on offense, he's salvaged some value in formats that reward physical play with 54 hits, 34 blocked shots and 14 PIM through 22 contests.

Weegar notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar entered Monday on a nine-game point drought, which he snapped in the first period with a helper on a Dillon Dube goal. The transition to Calgary's more defensive structure hasn't gone so smoothly for Weegar -- he's been limited to five helpers in 18 contests. The 28-year-old blueliner has added 39 hits, 28 blocked shots, 35 shots on net and a plus-3 rating, so the physicality is still there, but his lack of offense has cost him a regular power-play role. That likely means his scoring won't bounce back as much as fantasy managers would hope for.

Weegar notched an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar ended a four-game point drought with his performance Tuesday. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to four assists through eight games with his new team. He's added 13 shots on net, 19 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating while playing in a top-four role, as expected. He was bumped from the second power-play unit in favor of Michael Stone in this contest.

Weegar produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar sent a shot wide, with Blake Coleman collecting the loose puck to set up Mikael Backlund for the game-winning goal. The assist was Weegar's third in as many games to start the year hot for the Flames. The 28-year-old blueliner has added five shots on net, five blocked shots and eight hits while filling a top-four role as expected after he was traded from the Panthers in the Matthew Tkachuk deal.

Weegar notched two assists and three hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar helped out on Brett Ritchie's goal in the first period, and turned a shot block into a breakaway on Rasmus Andersson's tally after a penalty expired in the second. All told, it's a solid Flames debut for Weegar, who inked an eight-year extension with the team last week to anchor their defense for the rest of the decade. The 28-year-old recorded 80 points in 134 games over the previous two seasons, and he should be in a position to continue producing offense in Calgary. Most notably, he could see a jump in power-play usage -- Weegar saw 2:15 of ice time with the man advantage Thursday compared to an average of 0:40 per contest last year with the Panthers.

Weegar signed an eight-year extension worth $50 million with the Flames on Friday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar has decided to commit to the Flames long term after being traded to Calgary along with Jonathan Huberdeau, Cole Schwindt and a first-round pick from the Panthers in exchange for Matthew Tkachuk and a fourth-round selection this summer. Weegar had eight goals and 44 points with Florida last season and should produce similar totals as a top-pairing defenseman for Calgary in 2022-23.

The Panthers traded Weegar, Jonathan Huberdeau, Cole Schwindt and a first-round pick to the Flames in exchange for Matthew Tkachuk and a fourth-round pick Friday.

EDGE Analysis

There had been rumors this offseason regarding a potential trade for Weegar despite other reports stating that he and the Panthers were working on an extension. Those rumors culminated in him being involved with the biggest blockbuster of the offseason. Weegar averaged 23:22 of ice time with eight goals and 44 points through 80 games last season. On top of that, he also blocked 156 shots, laid out 179 hits and put 203 shots on net. The 28-year-old blueliner will immediately slot into Calgary's top-four and he could see an increase in power-play time as well. Weegar has one year left on his $3.25 million AAV deal.

Weegar recorded an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Capitals in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar picked up his first point of the playoffs with the secondary helper on an Aleksander Barkov tally. The 28-year-old Weegar has been solid defensively even as he has struggled to replicate his 44-point effort from 80 regular-season contests. The Ontario native has added 27 hits, 16 shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through six postseason games.
