WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Mike Green declared himself ready to return, a boost for the Detroit Red Wings even as it comes too late for the managerial side.

Green said after Thursday’s practice at MTS Place he will play Friday when the Wings face the Winnipeg Jets. It’ll be Green’s first game since a hit Feb. 15 at Tampa Bay that aggravated a neck injury dating to last season.
