NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Devils captain Andy Greene missed his first regular-season game since 2012 on Friday night.
The 34-year-old defenseman suffered an upper-body injury in the Devils' game at Carolina on Tuesday night when he was struck on the left wrist by a Jordan Staal shot. He had played in 350 consecutive games dating to March 6, 2012.
Greene was not in the lineup for Friday's 4-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Coach John Hynes said Greene is uncertain for Saturday's game against the Edmonton Oilers.
The streak was the third longest in franchise history. Travis Zajac played in 401 consecutive games between Oct. 26, 2006, and April 10, 2011. Defenseman Ken Daneyko played in 388 straight from Nov. 4, 1989, to March 28, 1994.
