Capitals' Mike Weber: Will not be suspended for boarding incident

Weber will not face a league hearing for his boarding penalty incurred in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh, Chuck Gormley of CSN Washington reports.

Weber was given a major penalty and ejected from the game after he boarded Penguins forward Bryan Rust midway through the third period. Though he plays with an edge, the Pittsburgh native has never been suspended during his eight-year career. With John Carlson (lower body) nearing a return to the lineup, Weber will struggle to get consistent playing time which severely limits his fantasy upside.
