Weise (illness) will rejoin the lineup Wednesday against the Capitals.

Analysis:

Weise will end up missing just one game becuase of the issue, and the veteran's return will be surprisingly useful for the Canadiens. While the veteran owns just four points in February (three goals), three of them came in the three games before the injury. However, the winger also played third-line minutes before the issue and wasn't seeing much ice time on the power play (but did play 1:05 in the game he was injured). Weise's potential upside likely hinges on whether or not he's used on the power play, so it might be worth monitoring his time on the unit over the next few games.
