Mike Green Scores First Goal of Season in Loss to Edmonton
5 years agoDetroit Red Wings defensemen Mike Green scored Detroit's lone goal on Friday night as they lost to the Oilers. The goal was not only Green's first of the season, but it was also his first point in general. Age and injuries have caught up to the once prolific offensive defensemen, limiting him to less than 70 games in each of the last two seasons. Despite that, Green has put up at least a 0.5 points per game rate in each of the last three seasons. Losing his spot on the top power-play unit to Filip Hronek makes it unlikely that Green will be able to repeat that, or hold much in the way of fantasy value this season.
