Anyone see it?
From rotoworld...
Mike Green sustained an upper-body injury against the Sabres.
The Capitals defenseman will not return to the game. Green played 10:56 and had four shots on goal. He has 12 points on the season. Green has been a very productive defenseman in his career, but that comes with the fact he can't seem to stay healthy for a full season
Anyone see it?
RETIRED
yes. gnarly hit into the boards. i don't want to speculate but it didn't look like his head. maybe ribs/shoulder? but honestly the way he crumpled it could have been any number of things. i guess on the bright side "upper body injury" means it wasn't the same wonky groin that used to cause him so many difficulties.

either way, this couch doctor thought it looked pretty serious. niskanen could be in for a huge upswing.

green called "day to day," but he's not practicing. i'm sticking to my guns that this is a multi-week thing.

was just a matter of time. CONGRATS to all the Carlson Owners!
i truly believe niskanen will be the big winner as a caps fan. but you're probably right that carlson gets PP1 back, at least for now. but i think niskanen might start seeing 25 minutes a night plus increased time with the extra man.

Via twitter, not really much of an update but thought I would share anyway:

No update on Mike Green today. If he doesn't practice tomorrow though, he probably won't travel to Long Island, says Barry Trotz.
Thought Carlson was on the PP before this, och
He was to start the season, but Green returned and got the slot until this injury

No Mike Green as Caps practice starts. Trotz said no practice, no traveling to Long Island.
Adam Vingan @AdamVingan 4m4 minutes ago
Trotz is unsure, however, if Ovechkin will play. Brooks Laich and Mike Green are both out. #Caps

No Mike Green tomorrow v. VAN, but Barry Trotz is hopeful that he could return by the end of the week. #Caps
