Shea Weber (lower body) will not dress for Thursday's game against the Blackhawks.

Analysis:

Initially considered a game-time call after partially partaking in Thursday's morning skate, it appears the Nashville captain will take another game off due to the lower-body issue. Barret Jackman appears set to take his place in the lineup once again Thursday, but he doesn't nearly provide the offensive threat Weber (36 points in 60 games) does. The captain's next chance to return now comes Saturday against the Blues.
