Red Wings' Mike Green: Declares himself ready for Tuesday's game

Green (illness) said he'll play Tuesday night versus the Islanders.

Analysis:

It's generally considered best practice in the fantasy realm to not rely strictly on a player's prognosis, but we have every reason to believe that Green will play, given that the illness was minor and he's a veteran who knows a thing or two about how his body might hold up upon his return. Green has fashioned 26 points (10 goals, 16 assists) in 49 games, albeit with a poor minus-13 rating.
