On Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers announced that defenseman Mike Green will be opting out of the NHL's Return To Play program and the league's 24-team NHL postseason.
The Oilers released the following statement from Green:
"Due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 and after much consideration, I've decided for deeply personal family health reasons, not to participate in the return to play.
"This has been a hard decision knowing I'm going to miss the opportunity to compete in the playoffs with a Stanley Cup contender. I wish the best of luck to the guys and I appreciate the Edmonton Oilers support.
