The Washington Capitals will place against the Winnipeg Jets tonight for the first time since 1995, and Mike Green isn’t even with the team due to his ongoing injury issues.
Katie Carrera of the Washington Post has tweeted that Mike Green will play tonight in New Jersey against the Devils! Coach Boudreau told the media it was a game time decision, but it looks like it’s a GO!
That’s the question of the day, everyday for the past 2 and half weeks. Hopefully tonight will be the night, we know Mike Green wants to play, and we know the Capitals need him badly, but will he play?
Mike Green participated in the hardcore 90 minute practice with his teammates yesterday even if he didn’t have to and was actually encouraged not too.
That is the big question before the Washington Capitals host the Dallas Stars tonight. I found one source (Caps247) which claims he will not, and all the other sources say he is questionable, I have a feeling Caps247 is right, but only time will tell.
Mike Green basically said he felt good in practice, and if he feels like a liability he shouldn’t play, if he doesn’t then he’ll play. Check out the video for the rest of what he said.
The Washington Capitals are now 2-3 without Mike Green in the line up and as much as they hope he gets back soon, they don’t want to rush him.
Mike Green still hasn’t participated in a full practice with the Capitals, so it’s highly unlikely for him to suit up tonight in Long Island.
Mike Green will miss tonight’s game against the Hurricanes due to his ankle injury not being completely gone. He is doubtful for tomorrows game against the Islanders as well.
Mike Green attempted to practice with his teammates yesterday, but didn’t last more than 5 minutes on the ice, well today was a little better, he lasted almost 30 minutes with them, but still left early.
