Weber (upper body) will miss the remainder of the regular season but is expected to return for the start of the playoffs, per coach Dominique Ducharme, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber last suited up April 28, so he may have to deal with some rust when he returns for the postseason. The veteran defenseman will finish the regular season with six goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances.

According to Arpon Basu of The Athletic, head coach Dominique Ducharme doesn't expect Weber (upper body) to return on the team's current road trip.
EDGE Analysis
The Canadiens have four road games -- in Ottawa on Wednesday and in Toronto for three contests -- between now and Saturday, which effectively rules Weber out until May 10 against the Oilers, at the earliest. The veteran blueliner has missed three games thus far with the injury.

Weber had a power-play goal, two shots on net and one hit in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Weber one-timed a feed from Tomas Tatar to put the Canadiens on top, 1-0, midway through the first period. It was defenseman's first goal in 22 games and first point of any kind in eight contests. Montreal has been goal challenged since losing Brendan Gallagher (thumb), and Weber's goal drought had drawn recent attention.

Weber had an assist, three shots on net, two blocked shots and a plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Weber got in on the scoring action in Montreal's return after a 10-day layoff due to COVID-19. His slapshot off a faceoff dribbled free of Mikko Koskinen, and Brendan Gallagher dove across the crease to bat the puck home. Weber and his mates showed no rust from the layoff, had more energy, and overwhelmed Edmonton, which was coming off an overtime game the night before. Weber has points in two straight contests, albeit 10 days apart, and 15 points in 32 games.
