Mike Green is back to skating regularly before practice, but his return to the Washington Capitals from a groin injury remains a mystery.
Green was on the ice before the Capitals' practice Wednesday morning, just as he was Monday morning before coach Dale Hunter's first workout with the club.
The All-Star defenseman hasn't played since getting hit in the corner during a game Nov. 11 at New Jersey.
"Right now I'm just able to get out there and skate a little bit," Green said. "I'm not exerting myself too hard yet, but I'm progressing better each day and that's all that matters."
