Canadiens' Shea Weber: Buries Isles with late game-winner

Weber potted the game-winning goal on a power play with 2:57 remaining in the third period Wednesday against the Islanders, and he rounded out his stat line with an assist, a plus-2 rating, three hits and four blocked shots.

Analysis:

P.K. who? Weber is rapidly making Montreal's faithful forget about the fan favorite who departed in exchange for him in the offseason, as he's racked up incredible numbers over his first seven games north of the border -- three goals, six assists, eight PIM and an NHL-leading plus-12 rating. He'll probably cool off a bit at some point, but not much. Only Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson can make strong arguments for being more valuable fantasy assets on the blue line.
