Shea Weber ruled out for rest of first round

NHL, Nashville Predators

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Predators defenseman Shea Weber's lower-body injury will prevent him from playing in the remainder of the team's Western Conference first-round series with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The team updated Weber's status Friday and ruled him out for the rest of the series. Weber, the Predators' team captain, hasn't played since getting hurt last week in Game 2 of the series.

The Predators disputed speculation that Weber had torn his ACL. Although they haven't specified the nature of Weber's ailment aside from calling it a lower-body injury, they said Friday that he didn't suffer an ACL injury.

Nashville trails 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Game 6 will take place Saturday in Chicago.
