Green (virus) will make his season debut on Friday.

Green has missed the first nine games of the season, but took part in Thursday’s practice and expects to play on Friday. Green will skate on the top-pair with Dennis Cholowski, a pairing that could produce a fair amount of offence.

The Red Wings are hopeful that Mike Green (virus) will make his season debut on Friday.

Green has missed the first nine games of the season, but could play Friday vs. the Jets. Green is the Red Wings best offensive-defenseman and is coming off of a 33-point (8G / 25A) season in just 66 games.

The Red Wings have placed Mike Green (virus) on injured reserve.

Green was already expected to miss the start of the regular season with a virus that caused him to miss part of training camp. With Green out, the Red Wings have kept a trio of rookie defensemen around to fill the holes on their blueline. There is no return date set for Green’s return.

Green “is over the worst” of his viral infection.

Green could miss the start of the regular season due to a virus that was attacking his liver. The Red Wings sent Green to see some specialists after he complained about fatigue during training camp. GM Ken Holland told reporters that he is “on the backside” of the infection. His likely absence to begin the season means that two of Dennis Cholowski, Libor Sulak, Filip Hronek and Joe Hicketts will make the opening night roster.

Green (undisclosed) is likely to miss the start of the regular season.

Green has been dealing with fatigue, so he will visit a specialist to figure out what he’s dealing with. The Red Wings are expected to know more in a few days, but don’t expect to see Green on their blueline on opening night. This is huge blow to an already terrible Detroit D-corps.

The Red Wings re-signed Mike Green to a two-year deal worth $10.75M ($5.375M AAV).

After his three-year contract ended in Detroit, Green decides not to test the free agency market and re-up with the Red Wings. During that three-year stretch, Green ranked 25th among defensemen in goals (29) and 35th in points (104).

Green (neck) is expected to return to the Red Wings lineup on Friday.

Green has missed the last seven games with a neck injury but is expected to be back in the Red Wings lineup in Winnipeg. Not many expected Green’s return to be in Red Wings’ uniform, but he was not dealt at the trade deadline. Green, who has picked up six goals and 23 assists (29 points) in 56 games this season will draw in for an unnamed defenseman.

Green (neck) will not play Wednesday in St. Louis.

Green is surprisingly still on the Red Wings roster following the trade deadline and tonight he will miss his seventh consecutive game with a neck ailment. The injury is probably what scared some teams away from Green, which is a bit surprising considering he is already nearing a return.

Green (illness) will return to the Red Wings lineup on Tuesday.

Green missed the last two games with an illness, but will replace Ryan Sproul in the lineup on Tuesday. Green will return to his spot on the Red Wings’ top pair and skate with Danny DeKeyser. He has 10 goals and 16 assists (26 points) in 49 games this season.

Green (illness) is feeling better and is expected to play on Tuesday.

Green missed both of the Red Wings’ games over the weekend, but it looks like he’ll be back in the lineup vs. the Islanders on Tuesday. Green is no Brent Burns, but he is tied for sixth among defensemen with 10 goals this season.

Mike Green
Green (upper-body) will return to the Red Wings' lineup on Tuesday.

Green has missed the last eight games with an upper-body injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight in Chicago. Green has seven goals and 11 assists (18 points) in 32 games this season and should help the Red Wings struggling power-play.
