DETROIT - Detroit Red Wings defenseman Mike Green is suffering from fatigue and might miss the start of the season.
Green underwent surgery in April for a herniated disc, but this condition is not related to that injury, general manager Ken Holland said.
"The day before camp he saw the doctor in New York on his neck, he was totally cleared, cleared for contract," Holland said. "The plan was to ramp him up and play him the two of the last three preseason games. As we got into camp and were on the ice two, three, four days he didn't feel like he had his energy, he felt a little bit fatigued.
