Injury
Mike Green went to see a specialist about his groin injury, according to a team spokesman. He's expected to join the #caps on the road.
The team only has a two-game road trip so take this update as an encouraging sign on his status.

"We're doing different things on the ice and off the ice," the coach said Saturday. "So we're going both ways with it – so a couple days off the ice and we'll go from there."
Green not skating with the club is not an encouraging sign. We would advise fantasy hockey owners to prepare for the worst and expect Green back at some point next calendar year.
Injury
Green had skated four straight days – light workouts, nothing too strenuous – and said Thursday there was nothing new to report as far as an update.
Green not skating this morning is an indication that he is very far from returning. At this point it looks doubtful that he plays again in the calendar year.

If you own Green, all you can do is wait for him to get back into practice. The elite defender has only played in eight of the team's 26 games and remains out indefinitely.

Mike Green (groin) and Jay Beagle (concussion) both skated Monday and Tuesday, a team spokesman said. There is no timetable for either to return to the lineup.

Injury
Mike Green stayed back in the D.C. area, according to a team spokesman.
Green is guaranteed to miss two more games so remember to keep him on your IR.
Injury
Mike Green again skated before practice, for the fifth time in six days.
Green continues to progress but has no timetable for his return.
Injury
Mike Green, one of Boudreau's guys, said he hasn't talked to his ex-coach since firing. Called it "necessary." #Caps
If you own Green, all you can do is wait for him to get back into practice. The elite defender has only played in eight of the team's 23 games.
Injury
Mike Green skated for a third time in the past four days on Tuesday morning prior to the main group taking the ice for their skate. Green has missed the past eight games with a strained right groin muscle. He did not speak to reporters.
Green continues to skate which is a positive sign. However, until he practices with the team there is no firm timetable for his return.
Injury

Green reportedly took the ice for about 30 minutes prior to practice. Certainly a step in the right direction but he likely remains weeks away from returning.
Injury
Asked on Thursday if Green might join the team at some point, Coach Bruce Boudreau told reporters in Winnipeg, “I really
doubt it.”
Green will at least miss the next two games. Considering he was only supposed to miss a few days we can only assume he had a setback.
Injury
Boudreau's tone Saturday seemed to be less optimistic, though he did not change from the day-to-day prognosis.
Green's status remains indefinite although the team continues to label him day-to-day. His absence from practice is certainly a telling sign.
Injury
Mike Green will not play tonight, Boudreau said.
Green is listed as day--to-day but could not stay in the lineup last night. He could get back in on Tuesday against the Predators.
Injury
“It’s a different soreness,” Boudreau said. “At least it’s not the ankle, so that’s good news. I’m pretty confident (it’s not serious). I talked to him already about it and it’s a day-to-day thing. Not a three-week day-to-day thing. It’s an actual day-to-day thing.”
Don't expect Green to play against the Devils tomorrow but he probably draws in within the week. Expect him to be fine with a bit of rest.
Line Change
Green returns for 1st time since Oct. 22 (6 games).
Green draws in, set your lineups accordingly.
Line Change
Boudreau says Green is game time decision #Caps
All indications point to Green playing tonight but he remains a game-time decision. Check back before game time in preparation of putting him back in the lineup.
Line Change
Mike Green, officially, remains a question mark, though there are possible signs that the All-Star defenseman could return to the Capitals lineup either Friday at the Devils or home against them.
Green took part in yet another full practice Thursday and worked the entire time with partner Roman Hamrlik.
Practicing full time with Roman Hamrlik is an excellent sign that Green will draw back in. Check back tomorrow for an official confirmation on his availability.
Line Change
Boudreau had been hopeful but not overconfident about Green playing this weekend, either Friday at the New Jersey Devils or Saturday at home against them. The All-Star defenseman taking part in a tough workout Wednesday seems like a good indication.
Green could return this weekend which would be a boon to the Caps overall play. Check back on Friday and/or Saturday for a firm update on his status.
Injury
No Mike Green tonight, no Mathieu Perreault. #Caps
Keep Green on your bench tonight. The elite defender has now missed six contests.
Injury
