Weber is reportedly day-to-day with a lower-body injury, but this smells like rest for Weber, who missed three games late in March with a lower-body injury. Weber had no points but 15 shots on goal in three games since returning from that injury.

Weber had recorded his 23rd assist earlier in the contest, but retired to the dressing room after playing just 17:45 (averages 26:43).

Weber is currently tied for NHL lead in goals for defensemen with 13 and his 36 points is good for fifth.
Weber missed the last three games after taking a puck to the face near his eye on November 28. Weber will sport a visor in tonight's contest following the scary incident.

“Today was a good day,” said Weber, who suffered the injury in a 3-0 loss to Edmonton on Thanksgiving night. “It was good to be back out there with the guys and skate with them and hopefully move forward going ahead this week.” Weber’s playing status will be determined this morning, coach Barry Trotz said. “When he gets up in the morning and we can do our meetings and all, I’m sure I’ll know at that point,” he said.
Weber will wear a visor when he returns to action, whether or not that is Saturday in Washington remains to be seen.

Weber will likely miss a couple of games, which will hurt the Predators, but it could have been much worse. He is obviously out tonight and should be considered questionable for Tuesday's contest with the Canucks.
Weber took a puck in the face on Thursday and did not return to the game. The injury was near his eye which is always a scary scene, especially when it is your team's best player. He has been listed as day-to-day by the Predators so he is not expected to be out long-term at this point. Seth Jones will likely slide onto the top-pair with Roman Josi while Weber is sidelined.
Weber was hit close to his eye in Thursday's loss to the Oilers. The Predators are going to wait unti Saturday before they decide if he can play. It was a scary looking incident so it is good that he is labeled as just day-to-day.
No suspension for Weber in what some might argue is a light penalty for his "WWE-like" move at the end of Game 1.
