Shea Weber is back practicing with his teammates without contact, per TSN's Ryan Rishaug. Weber underwent knee surgery during the offseason, and has been out indefinitely ever since. The Habs captain was part of the P.K. Subban trade from Nashville in 2016, and has since played 104 games as a Canadien, with 23 goals and 35 assists.

Coach Claude Julien told the media that there are no changes to the timetable for Weber's return, which was originally thought to be around Christmas time.

Viktor Arvidsson has been placed on the IR list with an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old left the ice late in the third period after crashing into the boards during Saturday night's game. The winger was recently taken off of IR for an unrelated lower-body injury. He was forced to miss three games prior to leaving the game against Dallas early this past weekend. Arvidsson has eight goals and five assists in 13 games played this season.
