The Washington Capitals will welcome defenseman Mike Green back to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins, according to Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post.
Green will play on the third defensive pairing alongside Nate Schmidt.
The offensively-inclined defenseman missed the team's season-opening loss to the Montreal Canadiens with an upper-body injury.
Green, entering the final year of his contract, is looking to return to form after posting back-to-back 70-plus point seasons from 2008 to 2010.
