Weber filled the box score Thursday, registering a power-play goal and assist, a plus-3 rating and three hits during a 5-2 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Weber might be in new threads, but the blueliner isn't playing like it. The 31-year-old has points in three of four games, notching a goal, three helpers and a plus-6 rating. The veteran was a stud with Nashville for 11 campaigns and Montreal should be no different. Start Weber with confidence as he trucks towards another 40-point season.

Weber leads Montreal with an average of 26:46 of ice time through two games. He's gone plus-3 with two assists, seven hits, three blocked shots and four shots on goal.
EDGE Analysis
Weber may have the biggest skates to fill in the NHL this season, replacing the very popular P.K. Subban in hockey's hottest hotbed. Entering the Canadiens' home opener Tuesday, Weber has delivered the kind of steady play that was his trademark in Nashville. Gradually, the fans in Montreal will appreciate his style of hockey as much as they did Subban's.

Weber scored and took a game-high seven shots in Thursday's preseason win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Weber showed the offensive upside that tempted Montreal to deal P.K. Subban for him in the offseason. The former Predators defenseman has scored at least 15 goals on at least 189 shots in each of his last seven full seasons. Don't expect the change of venue to drastically impact his production.

The Predators traded Weber to the Canadiens in exchange in exchange for P.K. Subban on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators saw an opportunity to add a little more youth to their blue line on Wednesday and took it, exchanging the 30-year-old Weber for the 27-year-old Subban in a straight player-for-player trade. The Preds will be saying farewell to a player that was key to the franchise's success in recent years, as Weber has been one of the NHL's premier defenders throughout his decade-long stay in Nashville, amassing an astounding 443 points (166 goals, 277 assists) over his 10 seasons with the Predators. The right-handed defender will now take his talents to Montreal, where he'll immediately slot into a top-pairing role with the Canadiens.

Weber was a defensive force in Thursday night's 4-3, triple-overtime Game 4 win over the Sharks. He had two PIM, seven blocked shots, and eight hits through a whopping 49:07 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Who doesn't love extra hockey to pad the fantasy stats? It was a bit disappointing to see Weber fail to land on the scoresheet with so much ice time, but his defensive efforts were off the charts. Weber still has seven points in 11 games this postseason, and remains one of the most dependable options from the blue line. He gives it his all on both ends of the rink.

Weber registered a tally and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Sharks in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
After a solid series against the Ducks, Weber had gone silent coming into Tuesday's must-win contest. The 30-year-old must have needed to sleep in the comfort of his own bed, as the blueliner awoke at home and notched his first multi-point outing of the playoffs. Weber is now at three markers and four apples to date, and Nashville will need even more to tie the series Thursday.

Weber picked up his third point of the postseason in Saturday's Game 5, 5-2 loss to Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Weber is simply continuing his strong regular season, but the Preds need offence from other parts of the team. Nashville is on the ropes in the series, down 3-2 and will need to pull out all the stops to move on to the second round.

EDGE Analysis
There's nothing wrong with the stud defenseman, and it appears that he and four other Preds regulars are simply getting extra rest in advance of the postseason.

Weber scored his 20th goal of the season on the power play in Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Weber has reached 20 tallies for the third time in his career. The 30-year-old blueliner is impacting the box score regularly down the stretch, earning points in three straight and tying his longest streak of the season. The veteran continues to make a living off the man advantage, notching 14 goals and 12 apples to date in over three minutes on ice during the power play.
