Canadiens' Weber back on ice, but still no return timeline

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber skated Wednesday for the first time since suffering a left foot injury in December.

Weber took the ice with teammate Phillip Danault before practice, but didn't take part in team drills and no timetable has been set for Weber's return to the lineup.

Weber - with six goals and 10 assists in 26 games this season - played through the injury but the team ruled him out indefinitely Dec. 18 after the ailment lingered.

Montreal squares off against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
