Weber set up two goals in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
For all the criticism of the trade that brought him to Montreal, Weber just continues to produce. Right now, he's 10th overall in scoring (three goals, eight assists) from the blue line -- that's better than a 60-point pace. Weber isn't slowing down, but pounce if his owner thinks that's the case. There is plenty of fantasy goodness in that jersey.

Weber recorded three assists with a plus-4 rating through 26:37 of ice time (2:48 on the power play) during Monday's 8-3 win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Weber has now posted three multi-point showings through his past four games for an impressive two goals and five assists. The veteran is also now up to a rock-solid nine points and 38 shots through 12 contests. It looks like Weber is well on his way to a fifth consecutive season with at least 15 goals and 40 points, which affirms his status as one of the most reliable blue-line options in fantasy.

Weber compiled two assists and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 home win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Montreal's highest-paid defenseman -- Weber's cashing in $7.857 million annually -- is starting to heat up offensively with four points over his last three games. Also, he currently ranks 27th in the entire league with 37 shots on goal through 11 contests. Montreal has the fewest amount of points in the entire league, but it'll be up to leaders like Weber to right the team's woes and be competitive within the Atlantic Division. However, that's easier said than done with offensive powerhouses Tampa Bay and Toronto in the fold.

Weber scored a power-play goal and an even strength goal on seven shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The hard-shooting blueliner took it upon himself to snap his team out of its offensive funk, potting his second and third goals of the season. The first of Weber's tallies made it 2-1 late in the second period and ended up being the game-winner. Weber's topped 40 points in eight consecutive non-lockout seasons, so this performance is likely a harbinger of more offensive success to come.

Weber scored a power-play goal while adding two shots, four hits and two blocked shots over 25:36 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Weber loaded up his right-handed howitzer and one-timed a feed from Victor Mete past Martin Jones. It was Weber's first goal, first power-play point and second point of the season. His 22 points on the man-advantage unit led the Canadiens in 2016-17.

Weber had a shorthanded assist, one shot on net, four blocked shot and seven hits over 29:30 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Just another night at the office for Weber, who was north of five minutes on both special-teams units while partnering with Victor Mete, a 19-year-old making his NHL debut. While close to 30 minutes of ice time will be the outlier, the 32-year-old will average about 25 of 26 minutes per game. He'll get a well-deserved day off before heading into a weekend set of road games against the Capitals and Rangers.

Weber won't be playing for Team Canada in the World Championships next month, Arpon Basu of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his first season with Montreal, Weber didn't quite hit his numbers from previous seasons, notching 42 points and 140 hits. That said, he's still one of the better offensive defenders in the league, and will provide some serious fantasy value next season.

Weber scored a goal and tallied two assists in the first five games of the first round series against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Weber has averaged 28:35 of ice time this series, but this is partially because of two games that went to overtime. His power-play time has been significant over these five games, and that's where he scored his lone goal. Weber continues to be a solid option in DFS if the Canadiens can make a series comeback.

Weber (lower body) will definitely be ready for Montreal's first-round playoff series against the Rangers next week, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber, who will not play in the season-finale Saturday night in Detroit, will have missed four straight games to end the season, but coach Claude Julien is confident the defenseman will return for the playoffs.

Weber (lower body) has been ruled out for the Canadiens' last two regular season contests, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber will focus on getting healthy for the postseason, rather than rushing back into the lineup for a pair of essentially meaningless contests. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner had hit a bit of a rough patch, as he garnered a lone assist in his previous six outings. Until the 31-year-old is cleared to return, Brett Lernout will continue to fill in on the Habs' blue line.
