Green recorded a primary assist, five hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 road loss to the Maple Leafs.
Detroit's blue line includes veterans in Green and Niklas Kronwall, and outside of those two, Danny Dekeyser is the only non-rookie in the active lineup as of late. With so many Wings defenders trying to learn a tough position on the fly, Green's minutes should remain high. He logged 24:18 in this most recent contest, which was slightly more than his average in a season during which he's provided 27 points (10 goals, 17 assists) -- including seven on the power play -- over 54 games.
