Montreal Canadiens defenceman Shea Weber will be a game-time decision on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings.
Weber hasn't played since Nov. 18 after suffering a lower-body injury.
The 32-year-old has four goals and 13 points in 20 games this season.
The Canadiens enter Saturday having won their last four games, their longest winning-streak of the season.
They're two points ahead of the Red Wings for third place in the Atlantic Division.
Jakub Jerabek figures to be scratched should Weber make his return, with 19-year-old Victor Mete telling Sportsnet's Eric Engels that he'll be in the lineup.
"When it comes to making those decisions, right now what I'm saying is they're tough decisions to make," said coach Claude Julien of deciding who to scratch. "But at the end of the day I have to make a decision before the game, and sometimes there's going to be some rotations if they're all playing well.
"It's a good competition to have right now. It's a good problem to have. I'll take that any day — having to make hard decisions versus the easy ones. When you have to make hard decisions, it's a good sign for our hockey club."
Forward Jonathan Drouin is questionable to play, having missed Thursday's game in Detroit with a lower-body injury.
