Subban<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for the time being.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Greene&#8217;s Value<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greene has been the captain of New Jersey for the last five seasons. Greene\u2019s value to the team comes on the defensive end of the ice. Since taking over the captaincy, he has 64 points in 314 games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Devil\u2019s team needs Greene back on the ice sooner rather than later. While it is still early in the season, New Jersey currently sits in the last place in the Metropolitan Division with an 0-2-2 record. In those four games, they have given up 20 goals. If this team hopes to rise to the top in the Metro, they need a serious defensive boost. Losing Greene won\u2019t help them in this situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How the Devil&#8217;s Will Fill the Gap<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the team has called up 29-year-old defenceman Matt Tennyson, he will not be of great value to the team. After signing with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/sharks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Jose Sharks<\/a> in 2012 after going undrafted, he has played parts of several seasons also with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/hurricanes\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/sabres\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buffalo Sabres<\/a>. Tennyson has played in 124 career games, but only has a meagre 20 points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully, for New Jersey, Andy Greene will return to the lineup in the near future. In the meantime, they will face a 3-1-0 Boston Bruins team that is playing their first home game after a four-game road trip to start the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"NzjnkmI5Sxx5u95med9Fzw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1173688806\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'NzjnkmI5Sxx5u95med9Fzw',sig:'wEVDps3-GcRc-wPsZjrC8-EdMXPNqs3RpPlxnymFi8Q=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1173688806',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Jersey Devils have placed captain Andy Greene on injured reserve after suffering an upper-body injury. #NJDevils news: New Jersey has placed D Andy Greene (upper body) on injured reserve, retro to 10\/9\/19 at Philadelphia.
