Weal found twine, had four shots and won six of nine faceoffs in a 3-1 win over the Kings on Tuesday.

The second-period goal stood as the game-winner when all was said and done. Weal had been a healthy scratch for the Canadiens' first four games since they acquired him at the trading deadline, but coach Claude Julien opted to give rookie Jesperi Kotkaniemi the night off, so Weal made his Montreal debut. The goal and his work at the dot may encourage Julien to insert the center into the lineup more often. In 48 games this season, Weal has 12 points, split between the Flyers, Coyotes and Canadiens.
