Kings' Greene Expected To Be Out Awhile

News: Matt Greene (lower body) is not expected to return any time soon, Helene Elliott of the LA Times reports.
Analysis: It's not likely the Kings will tell us anything more about the injury during the playoffs, but this doesn't rule out a return either if the Kings make a deep run at the Cup.

Kings' Greene (Undisclosed) Could Play Saturday

News: Kings coach Darryl Sutter said there's a possibility Matt Greene (undisclosed) plays in Saturday's Game 3 against the Blues, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Prior to Thursday's Game 2, Sutter said he wouldn't push to get Matt Greene back before the 29-year-old was ready, but with the Kings now down 0-2 in the series, it seems he'd like all the help he can get.

Kings' Greene (Undisclosed) Unlikely To Play Game 2

News: Coach Darryl Sutter said Matt Greene (undisclosed) is unlikely to play Game 2 against the Blues, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Sutter doesn't want to rush Matt Greene back into the lineup until he regains his timing after he was limited to just five games this season. Until Greene is deemed ready to go, Sutter will stick with youngsters Jake Muzzin and Keaton Ellerby to provide quality ice time defensively for the team.

Kings' Greene (Undisclosed) Out Saturday

News: Although Matt Greene (undisclosed) will not play Saturday, he is not dealing with a long-term injury, the Los Angeles Times' Helene Elliott reports.

Kings' Greene Day-To-Day With Undisclosed Injury

News: Matt Greene (undisclosed) missed practice Friday and is day-to-day, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Head coach Darryl Sutter indicated that the injury is not related to Matt Greene's recent back injury. The Kings need Greene to get some game action under his belt after recently coming back from a lengthy absence but his status for Saturday's finale remains in doubt.

Kings Activate Greene

News: The Kings have activated Matt Greene (back) from IR, the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Matt Greene, who has missed the Kings' last 42 games after suffering a back injury on January 19, returns to bolster the team's blue line for the stretch run. His upside on offense is modest, but for leagues that factor in hits, it's worth noting that he did record 241 of them last season.

Kings' Greene Cleared For Contact

News: Matt Greene (back) has been cleared for contact, Lisa Dillman of the LA Times reports.

Kings' Greene Still Not Cleared For Contact

News: Matt Greene (back) hasn't been cleared for contact and would need to return soon if he wanted to be ready for the playoffs, the Los Angeles Times reports. "Quite honest, if he's not ready to play three or four games and if we made the playoffs, I'd have trouble putting him in," head coach Darryl Sutter said.
Analysis: Matt Greene's not going to impact many fantasy squads out there but would give the Kings another defensive presence on the blue line if he's able to make it back this season.

Matt Greene

Kings' Greene Could See Contact Thursday

News: Matt Greene (back) could return to contact drills as soon as Thursday, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Matt Greene resumed skating two weeks ago but will look to take another step forward in his rehab by taking part in contact drills. He's not much of a fantasy impact but would certainly give the Kings a steadying force on the blue line.

Kings Adjust Greene's (Back) Timetable To Late April

News: Matt Greene (back) has resumed skating and is now projected to return in late April, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Matt Greene required back surgery after sustaining a herniated disc during the Jan. 19 season opener against the Blackhawks and was initially ruled out for two to three months. With the adjusted timetable, the Kings could have Greene back for the opening round of the playoffs, where he'll provide the team with a solid presence on the blue line.

Kings' Greene To Undergo Surgery On Back

News: Matt Greene will require surgery for a herniated disc in his back, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: As expected, the injury will in all likelihood end Matt Greene's season. He was at least productive in the one game he played this season, recording an assist and four penalty minutes in just over 18 minutes on the ice.

Kings' Greene (Mid-Body) Expected To Miss Three Months

News: Matt Greene (mid-body) is expected to need three months to recover, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: The Kings placed Matt Greene on injured reserve Monday, and it sounds like he'll miss much more than the one-week minimum that goes with that. Unfortunately, it sounds like Greene will miss most of the season. It's still unclear how exactly Greene got hurt, and what's wrong with him, specifically.

Kings' Greene (Mid-Body Injury) Placed On IR

News: Matt Greene (mid-body injury) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to January 19, NHL.com reports.
Analysis: The exact nature and severity of the injury are unknown, but it looks like Matt Greene will miss the team's upcoming three-game road trip, at a minimum. Los Angeles recalled Andrew Bodnarchuk to take his place on the roster for now.

Greene's Game-Winning Shortie Propels Kings To Early Series Lead

News: Matt Greene sent home a shorthanded goal in the second period of Saturday's Game 1 agianst St. Louis. The goal held up as the game-winner as the Kings took the opener, 3-1.
Analysis: This tally might not affect too many playoff pools, as Matt Greene isn't at the top of many fantasy owners' wish lists. His value remains primarily in the tough-guy columns, not on offense.

Kings' Greene Ill

News: Greene missed the Thursday morning skate due to flu symptoms and will be a game-time decision for the contest against the Predators, according to LA Kings Insider.
Analysis: Greene has just two points in 28 games this season, but if you're using him for hits -- his 103 are tied for seventh in the league -- you might want to start making other plans.
