Mike Green

Mike Green is fighting a disease that's attacking his liver.

Green had been dealing with fatigue issues that led to the Red Wings' doctors telling him to stay off the ice while the problem was investigated further. They now have more information, but the next step for Green will be to see an infectious disease specialist. There isn't a timetable for his recovery yet

Weird... hope he gets better soon...

This guy can't catch a break. Damn. Hope he's alright.

This is good news for Filip Hronek because his chances of cracking the Red Wings' roster just improved significantly. I wrote about him here: The Journey: Fast-Rising Prospect Defensemen - September 2018

Def. opens the door for Hronek. but man, you hope this is something easily treatable.

From DailyFaceoff:

The Red Wings have placed Mike Green (virus) on injured reserve.
Green was already expected to miss the start of the regular season with a virus that caused him to miss part of training camp. With Green out, the Red Wings have kept a trio of rookie defensemen around to fill the holes on their blueline. There is no return date set for Green’s return.

Also opens up big spot for Cholowski!
