Shea Weber sits out practice Friday

TORONTO -- Defenseman Shea Weber missed Team Canada's World Cup of Hockey 2016 practice Friday for a maintenance day.
Weber was on the ice for a team photo prior to practice wearing a game jersey, took it off and put on a practice jersey, did a few laps and then left the ice.
In Weber's absence, Team Canada's defense featured three pairs made up of NHL teammates. Drew Doughty and Jake Muzzin of the Los Angeles Kings skated on one pair, Jay Bouwmeester and Alex Pietrangelo of the St. Louis Blues were on another and Brent Burns and Marc-Edouard Vlasic of the San Jose Sharks were on a third.

Team Canada plays its opening game of the World Cup against Team Czech Republic at Air Canada Centre on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; ESPNEWS, SN, TVA Sports).
