Weise will skate on the fourth line when the Habs face the Sabres in Buffalo on Friday, Hockey Inside Out reports. "He's got to be more hungry," head coach Michel Therrien said about Weise. "He's the type of player that when he's hungry he's fast on forecheck, he's winning battles, he's making good decisions with the puck. Last game, I didn't quite like his focus, so that's why we made the change."

Analysis:

Weise, who's gotten some top-six time this season and is having a career year with 12 goals and 10 assists, has just one goal and one assist in the 11 games since returning from an upper-body injury. He had been on a line with Max Pacioretty and David Desharnais -- and could still get back there, said Therrien -- but he'll be replaced by Sven Andrighetto on Friday.
