Greene will have shoulder surgery on Thursday and is out indefinitely.

Greene has only appeared in three games this season and will miss a large portion of time with shoulder surgery. He will be placed on LTIR and the Kings will get some cap-relief until he is ready to return.

Expect Matt Greene, who returned to practice last week, to return to the lineup for tonight’s game in San Jose

Greene hasn’t played since leaving the Kings’ 1-0 win over Vancouver on January 13 during the second period. Darryl Sutter said on January 21 that the injury was a concussion. Greene, who will likely see time with multiple defensive partners, indicated that he expects to start alongside Willie Mitchell.

The Kings have placed Matt Greene on long-term injured reserve.

Greene was in injured in a contest against the Predators on November 2. The upper-body injury will keep him out of the Kings lineup for an extended period of time, but is unrelated to back surgery he had last season.

Matt Greene's recovery has progressed enough to allow him to resume skating, and his projected return to the lineup is now set for late April, according to Kings General Manager Dean Lombardi.

Green was injured in the season opener and required back surgery to repair a herniated disc. The expectation is that Greene would be available for the opening round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Kings defenceman Matt Greene is out at least six weeks after suffering a back injury on Saturday.

Originally the Kings thought he'd miss the entire season, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Greene isn't a great fantasy option regardless, so this doesn't affect fantasy too much, but it is a huge hole for the LA Kings to fill.
