No Stephen Weiss for #FlaPanthers this morning; very doubtful for #Leafs

Center Stephen Weiss stayed off the ice for the fourth straight day as he battles what is believed to be a minor groin injury. Weiss isn't expected to practice Saturday but said he'll definitely be back Monday in preparation for the season opener.
Weiss is a tough customer who labored through last season despite being day-to-day almost everyday. The team's top-line center posted back-to-back 60-point seasons before falling to 49 last year. He should be able to reach the 60-point plateau once again with a better supporting cast.

In other news, Stephen Weiss and Matt Bradley won’t play as they’re both nursing nicks.
The Panthers have been cautious with their top-line center, using him sparingly. Last season he scored 21 goals and 49 points in 76 games. He should continue centering the top line, when healthy, and could see an uptick in production with an improved cast.
