Weber (foot) was reevaluated following the All-Star game and will not play Tuesday against St. Louis, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weber, who has been out since mid-December, will be given all the the time he needs to recover. Head coach Claude Julien said Weber is closer to returning, but in his comments, the coach acknowledged the Canadiens' unlikely playoff hopes as a factor in not precipitating the defenseman's return. Jeff Petry will continue log heavy minutes as Weber's de facto replacement.

Weber (foot) is still in a walking boot and is considered doubtful to return until after the All-Star Game, Arpon Basu of The Athletic Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weber has already missed Montreal's last seven games, and this news suggests he'll be sidelined for at least nine more contests due to his foot injury. The All-Star game will take place Jan. 28 in Tampa Bay, so the Canadiens should release another update on their star blueliner's status ahead of their matchup with St. Louis on Jan. 30.

Weber (foot) is still not practicing with the team, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports. He's expected to miss Tuesday's home game against the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Weber was idled for the final six games of Montreal's recent road trip and has missed a total of 13 games this season, all believed to be stemming from a blocked shot in the opening game of the season. Head coach Claude Julien said it was impossible to put a timeline on Weber's return.

Weber (foot) did not travel with the team, as it departed on a three-game road trip.

EDGE Analysis

The news effectively rules Weber out for Montreal's next three outings and will extend his absence to six games due to his foot malady. Prior to this latest stint on the sidelines, the veteran has tallied a mere three points in his six previous contests. On the year, the blueline has been limited to 26 matchups, with no clear timeline for when he will be ready to return.

Weber (foot) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Weber is not traveling with the team as it swings through Western Canada, it shouldn't come as a surprise that he landed on IR. The veteran is eligible to suit up in the Habs' first post-holiday game Wednesday versus Carolina, but whether he is cleared to play remains to be seen. The blueliner might be better served to let his foot ailment fully heal, rather than playing through it as he was for most of the 2017-18 campaign.

Weber will return home to rest his lingering foot injury, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Habs are reportedly going to "shut him down for a bit," rather than allowing Weber to continue to play through his foot ailment. While coach Claude Julien didn't provide specifics, the veteran has been effectively ruled out for the remainder of the team's three-game swing through Western Canada. Replacing the 32-year-old minutes (25:21) will be a significant challenge for the rest of the blue line.

Weber, who took a therapy day Tuesday, practiced Wednesday and will be in the lineup Thursday against the Devils, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weber, who has been battling through a lower-body injury, practiced for the first time since a morning skate Dec. 2. He acknowledged not being 100 percent, but said the four-day break between games was "huge."

Weber did not participate in practice Tuesday, instead opting for a therapy day, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weber's been fighting a lower-body injury and hasn't taken part in any practices or morning skates since a morning session Dec. 2. The Canadiens are in the middle of a four-day break, which gives Weber a chance to recover without having to shut him down. We expect him to play Thursday against the Devils.

Weber scored two goals and recorded six shots through 22:34 of ice time during Tuesday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

This was just the second game back from a six-outing absence due to a lower-body injury for Weber, and he's marked the scoresheet in both contests while logging over 22 minutes of ice time in each. He now has six goals, 16 points and 67 shots through 22 contests for the campaign, and it's safe to say that Weber has proven his health and reaffirmed his position as a go-to fantasy option in all settings.

Weber had an assist and was plus-2 over 22:24 of ice time in Saturday's 10-1 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Weber played for the first time in seven games after missing time with a lower-body injury. He's averaged a healthy 26:07 of ice time this season, however, the blowout nature of Saturday's game allowed for a relatively stress-free return for Weber.
