Greene only has one assist and a rating of plus-1 in 18 games for the Islanders this season.

EDGE Analysis

Greene was never expected to be an offensive force this season but rather to help bring along his defense partner, Noah Dobson. Greene only recorded his first point of the season Monday and it's not like an avalanche of points is expected in the near future. The Islanders need him to show Dobson the way to being a top pro. Dobson is the future for the Islanders as they hope he develops into a top-pair defender.

Greene has yet to register a goal, assist, or penalty minute this season in nine games.

EDGE Analysis

Greene also has a rating of, wait for it, zero in those nine games. The bottom line is Greene, like so many defenders for the Isles, provides little to no offense. Greene is probably miscast as a full-time defenseman at this point in his career, but salary cap problems forced the Islanders to trade Devon Toews and forced the team to play Greene more than they would probably prefer.

The Islanders and Greene have agreed to terms on a one-year contract, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greene's role with the team last season was as a seventh defenseman but this season the Isles will expect him not only to be a regular but also to mentor Noah Dobson as the third pairing. This may be a lot to ask of a 38-year old defender in a condensed season loaded with back to back games. Look for the Islanders to rest Greene regularly this season and they may be playing with fire relying on Greene's age and Dobson's youth here.

Greene scored a goal on his lone shot and added three blocks and two hits in Saturday's 4-0 Game 7 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Greene buried a backdoor feed in the left faceoff circle to stake the Islanders to a 2-0 lead with just under seven minutes left in the first period. It was the second goal of the playoffs for the 37-year-old, matching his total from the entire regular season. Despite the goal, Greene's contributions come primarily at the defensive end at this stage of his career.

Greene scored a goal on two shots Monday in a 4-0 win over Philadelphia in Game 1. He added four blocks and two hits.

EDGE Analysis

Greene opened the scoring with a point shot at 6:06 of the first period, his first postseason goal since 2010 when he was a member of the New Jersey Devils. The 37-year-old found the net just twice in 63 regular-season games, but he was a noticeable presence in all three zones throughout Monday's game and led all players in blocked shots.

Greene (undisclosed) will play in Saturday's game against the Bruins, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greene missed Thursday's overtime loss to the Blues, but he'll be back in action against the Bruins. The 37-year-old has posted two points over five games since being traded to the Islanders, and he's slated to work on the top pairing with Ryan Pulock.

Greene (undisclosed) won't play Thursday against the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Greene's undisclosed issue isn't believed to be overly serious, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action Saturday against the Bruins. Noah Dobson will take the veteran blueliner's spot in the lineup for Thursday's tilt.

Greene (undisclosed) was labeled day-to-day and will travel with the team for Thursday's clash with St. Louis, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greene has recorded two helpers, eight shots and nine blocks while averaging 15:44 of ice time in five games since joining the Islanders. If the blueliner is unable to suit up versus the Blues, Noah Dobson figures to jump back into the lineup for the first time since Greene's acquisition.

Greene (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Greene exited the game in the first period after trying to clear the zone, and the specifics of his injury remain unclear. The defenseman exited the game suiting up in just 2:15 of ice time. In the meantime, look for Nick Leddy to see a slight uptick in ice time as long as Greene is sidelined.

Greene (undisclosed) left Tuesday's game against the Rangers in the first period, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greene wasn't present for the second period, but it's unclear what's bothering the blueliner. This is Greene's fifth game -- he's posted two points and eight blocked shots -- with the Islanders, and he's averaged 18:49 per game.
