Detroit Red Wings' Mike Green (virus) believed 'over the worst of it'

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Mike Green appears to be over the worst of his viral infection, but there is no firm timeline for his return.

General manager Ken Holland told the Free Press on Sunday that tests performed Friday by an infectious diseases specialist show Green, “is on the backside,” of the infection.

“He’s going to take some time off, and when he feels better, we’ll get him on a bike, see how he responds,” Holland said.
