Weise (upper body) is ready to return to the lineup and only needs to officially be cleared by team doctors. "I feel great but we'll have to wait for tomorrow (Saturday) morning. The doctors have to look at some stuff and make sure that I am medically cleared. But I feel really good," Weise added.

Analysis:

Weise is an up-and-coming winger who plays with sheer determination. That's what the Habs need as they've fallen flat with just three wins over the past 10 games. At 27 years old, he's a late bloomer and will finally reach 300 games played in two more contests, but Weise has already hit the 20-point plateau by scoring about once every four games on average.
