Mike Green (groin) has declared himself fit to play.

"This is taking the safe route," Green said after practicing Wednesday. "At some point you've got to make a decision, and [Thursday] I'm ready." He has sat out 10 straight games with a groin injury and 13 of the team's past 15. Coach Adam Oates said a decision hasn't been made yet if Green will return against Winnipeg Thursday.
