Josh Green was called up from the minors on Friday January 18.

Josh Green (rib cage) has started to practice with the AHL Oklahoma City Barons. Green still needs to be involved in more contact before he can make his return. He has a goal and two points in three AHL games this season.

Josh Green will miss a month of AHL action due to a rib injury suffered on Friday. "I was going around somebody and felt something pop," Green said. "It might be a cartilage problem; no break, but it's very painful. "I can't get comfortable when I'm sleeping at all." Green played four shifts with stars Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle on the left side. His spot will be taken over by Teemu Hartikainen for now.

Josh Green suffered a rib injury in the first period and did not return. The captain of the Oklahoma City Barons got the plum assignment of playing alongside Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle, but that did not last long. He was replaced by Teemu Hartikainen and Magnus Paajarvi who alternated between the Oilers outstanding forwards. No word yet on the severity of the rib injury to Green who is not expected to play much, if at all, in the NHL this season.

Josh Green will play on a line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle on Friday. "Josh? I know he'll be the hardest worker every night, plus he's a really smart player," said Nugent-Hopkins. Green will turn 35 on Nov. 16 and he's the AHL Oklahoma City Barons' captain. Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle might benefit from having a veteran presence on their line.

Forward Josh Green, who got into seven Oilers' games last year when injuries cropped up on the Edmonton roster, has signed an AHL contract with the OKCity Barons. Green, who has played 386 AHL games and 341 in the NHL over his 14-year pro career, had two points (goal, assist) averaging almost 12 minutes a game in his NHL stint. By signing only an AHL deal, however, he can't come up to the Oilers this season unless they rework his contract.

Josh Green was called up from the minors on Saturday January 28.

Josh Green scored his first NHL goal since January 16th, 2007 on Sunday. Green now has a goal in five games with the Oilers this season to go along with 17 points in 19 contests with the AHL Oklahoma City Barons. Green isn't expected to have any fantasy value in standard leagues.

Josh Green has been recalled by Edmonton. He has seven goals and 10 assists in 19 games with AHL Oklahoma City this season. Green has skated in three contests with the Oilers in 2011-12.

Josh Green has been returned to AHL Oklahoma City. Green played in Saturday's game before the demotion. He had a minus-two rating and spent five minutes in the sin bin after fighting Dallas' Steve Ott.
