The Red Wings are a better team with Green in the lineup. In 23 games played this season the 33-year-old defenseman has 3 goals, 13 assists and a +10 rating.
He missed the first part of the season due to an illness, but when he finally joined the team late October the Red Wings started wining. Overall, Detroit went 8-5 in November with Green stabilizing the blue line.
