Green (upper-body) will not play on Wednesday.

As expected, Green will miss Wednesday’s game with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Saturday. He did not practice today so it is unclear how long Green will be sidelined. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Green left Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

The Capitals, who do not play again until Wednesday and have a scheduled off-day Sunday, officially listed Green as day-to-day. “I don’t think it’s too serious,” Coach Barry Trotz said, “but I have not talked to my trainers yet.”

Green moves to the top power-play unit on Wednesday.

In the first seven games of Green's season, he was averaging just 1:19 of power-play time per game, while John Carlson was seeing three minutes. At Capitals practice this morning, Green and Carlson swapped spots, which should have Green seeing the three minutes of PP time tonight vs. the Red Wings. Despite limited power-play time, Green has found a way to score three goals with five assists in seven games (one PPP).

Green (upper-body) will not play in the Capitals' season opener.

Green was skating on the fourth pair this morning so this comes as no surprise. "He is close," said head coach Barry Trotz, who added Green will definitely be back for the homestand next week and may even play on Saturday.

Green (upper-body) unlikely to play in the season opener.

Green is skating on the Capitals fourth pair with John Erskine this morning, which suggests that his upper-body injury will keep him out of tonight's season opener. Injuries have become a trend for Green, but he is still one of the league's top offensive threats from the blueline. Expect a complete update following the morning skate.

Green (upper-body) will not play Tuesday or Thursday.

Green left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. He did not travel with the Capitals to St. Louis and won't meet them in Carolina. There is no word whether Green will be available for the final two home games of the season. His injury leaves the Capitals blueline very young and inexperienced.

Green (concussion) will return to the Capitals lineup on Thursday.

Green missed the last five games before the Olympic break with a concussion, but he has passed concussion protocol and will play vs. the Panthers. Green has seven goals and 23 assists (30 points) in 51 games this season.

Green (concussion) said he felt better today but he hasn’t been cleared to return yet.

Green will miss his fourth consecutive game and it looks more and more like he will not be back until after the Olympics. WIth Green out, Julien Brouillette will make his NHL debut tonight.

Green (concussion) is on the ice for the Capitals morning skate.

This suggests that Green could play tonight, but after the Capitals recalled two defensemen this morning, that seems unlikely. Green will likely be held out until after the Olympics, as reported on Tuesday. If he plays tonight, we will update you.
