BROSSARD, Quebec-- Whatever emotions defenseman Shea Weber feels about facing the Nashville Predators for the first time since he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens will have to wait until he's back in Nashville to experience them first-hand.
Weber will play the Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; SNE, RDS, FS-TN, NHL.TV) after being traded by Nashville for defenseman P.K. Subban on June 29.
Subban will not play Tuesday because of an upper-body injury. His absence will draw more attention on Weber's return to Nashville, where he played his first 11 NHL seasons, including the past six as Predators captain.
