[Injury Report] Shea Weber didn’t sustain a fracture after taking a puck to the face

UPDATE: Weber’s X-rays came back negative, and he’s cleared to travel with the team to Detroit.

Major break for the @CanadiensMTL after Claude Julien just announced that Shea Weber will travel with the team to Detroit. No fracture.

Shea Weber had a puck go off his stick and up into his face in the first period. While he was able to finish the opening frame, he did not come out from the dressing room after the first intermission.

It seems the injury was more serious than the defenceman let on during the game action.
