Weber (upper body) will return to the lineup for Game 1 versus Toronto on Thursday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to getting hurt, Weber managed just one goal and one assist in his previous 14 contests. That disappointing end to the season saw the veteran blueliner miss the 20-point mark for just the second time since his rookie campaign back in 2005-06. The British Columbia native logged 2:22 of ice time per game with the man advantage this season and should continue to see opportunities on the power play heading into the playoffs.

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.

EDGE Analysis
Weber will miss his first game of the season Friday with his upper-body issue. The 35-year-old blueliner has 19 points and a minus-4 rating through 48 games this season. He'll be replaced by Erik Gustafsson and be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Ottawa.

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.
