Canadiens' Weber out for clash with Predators

The Shea Weber-P.K. Subban rivalry will take a back seat Wednesday night, as the Montreal Canadiens defenseman will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, the team announced.

The contest would have been Weber's second in Nashville since being traded for Subban before last season, and the first time with both players in the lineup. Subban was injured during the Canadiens' lone trip to Nashville in 2016-17.

Weber was a late scratch Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars, a game the Canadiens dropped 3-1.
