Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday’s game against the New York Islanders and is questionable to return, according to the Washington Post’s Katie Carrera.
So far, Green has not; it seemed that he was banged-up in the first period and didn’t return at least early in the middle frame. PHT will keep an eye out for updates on the 28-year-old blueliner (who is no stranger to injury woes).
Carrera notes that the Islanders were physical with the scoring defenseman:
The Islanders are well aware of the “hit Mike Green” memo that all Metro teams seem to abide by. He took a couple big hits in the first.
