Canadiens' Weber could make season debut Tuesday vs. Hurricanes
by Josh Wegman from on (#43GMQ)
The Montreal Canadiens' blue line could get a big boost next week, as Shea Weber might make his season debut on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes, head coach Claude Julien said Thursday.
Weber hasn't played since Dec. 16 of last season due to foot and knee injuries. The veteran blue-liner was productive in limited action during the 2017-18 season, collecting 16 points in 26 games.
With fellow defenseman Noah Juulsen out indefinitely due to a facial fracture, Weber's return would come at an ideal time for the Canadiens.
