Mike Weaver (flu) was back at practice Monday. He didn't play Saturday but it looks like he'll be available for Tuesday's match at Vancouver. Weaver doesn't have any fantasy value in standard leagues, but he blocks shots, hits and kills penalties well.

Mike Weaver missed Saturday's game due to an illness. Weaver played in Florida's first 20 contests. He has no goals and just one assist in 2013-14.

Mike Weaver put forth a strong defensive effort in Florida's 4-2 win over Dallas in Thursday's opener. He logged 21:36 of ice time in the contest and was credited with five hits and six blocked shots. Weaver also picked up a fighting major in the victory. He should be considered in leagues where hits and blocks are valued statistics.

Mike Weaver will be back in Florida's lineup Saturday when the team hosts Pittsburgh. He hasn't played since Feb. 28 because of a knee injury. Weaver is a very good penalty killer, which should help the Panthers' 30th-ranked PK upon his return. He has 38 hits and 38 blocks in 19 games this year.

Mike Weaver is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Penguins. He has missed the last five weeks due to an knee injury. We don't expect Weaver to make any fantasy impact at all.

Mike Weaver (knee) is practicing with the team, but he's not projected to travel with the team for Thursday's game at Winnipeg. He will probably remain home and continue to work on his conditioning. Weaver hasn't played since Feb. 28, but he is expected to return to action before the season ends.

The Panthers expect Mike Weaver (knee) to return before the season ends. He skated on his own before Friday's practice and should be able to join his teammates in workouts in the coming days.

Mike Weaver is projected to miss four-to-five weeks with a lower-body injury. He was injured on Feb. 28 and hasn't played since. Weaver has seven points, 38 hits and 38 blocked shots in 19 games with the Panthers this year.

Mike Weaver will be out of action indefinitely with a serious lower-body injury. He will likely be placed on injured reserve shortly. If for some reason you have Weaver on your fantasy team, now may be a good time to cut him.

Mike Weaver suffered a lower-body injury Thursday night, and it could see him miss "extended" time. He played just 2:11, and it's not good news for a team already struggling to keep the puck out of its own net. Weaver may have seven points on the year, but he's more known for his stay-at-home style than anything else. "[Weaver] is going to be out an extended amount of time,'' coach Kevin Dineen said. "It's going to be quite a while by the looks of it.''
