Predators remain silent on status of Shea Weber

Shea Weber appeared to be injured as he limped off the ice after colliding with Chicago Blackhawk’s Brandon Saad Friday night.

NASHVILLE — With his team facing elimination in a first-round playoff series against the Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators coach Peter Laviolette remains noncommittal on the status of injured players Shea Weber and Mike Fisher.

Weber hasn’t played since getting hurt in Game 2. Fisher left Game 1 with a lower-body injury and hasn’t played since.


Fisher took part in Thursday’s morning skate, but Weber didn’t. The Predators trail the series 3-1 heading into Thursday night’s Game 5 in Nashville.

Eric Nystrom skated Thursday morning. Nystrom has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since March 3.
