The Canadiens will be without defenceman Shea Weber for the foreseeable future.

“Shea has a problem with his foot that’s not getting better,” coach Claude Julien said after the Canadiens practised Monday morning at Rogers Arena. “We’re sending him back to Montreal so our doctors can take a look at him.”

It’s the same problem that forced Weber to miss six games last month. He hasn’t practised on a regular basis since returning to the lineup and Julien said it was obvious that the injury was affecting his play.
