Injury update

No news isn’t really good news for Matt Greene or Scott Parse. Greene, expected to return at the end of his month — after offseason shoulder surgery — has been off the ice for a few days, apparently because of a condition known in hockey as “lace bite,” which has to do with the fit of the hockey boot. Parse, who injured his groin during the first exhibition game, doesn’t seem to be making much progress. Terry Murray gave an update today…

MURRAY: “Greene is getting better. He’s coming along. It’s just another maintenance look for him, to stay off the ice. He had a little bit of swelling, infection, in his ankle because of `lace bite.’ We’ve had about 10 guys, since the start of training camp, go through the same lace-bite problem. I’ve had it. It is painful. It’s inflammation of the tendon, and once you get it, the only thing you can do is just back off and ice it and take care of it that way, and it will go away. So that’s where Greener is at right now. Parse, I’m not real sure here. It’s another day off the ice. I’m not real sure. I have to get a real medical update on that one, to see where he is and where he has to get to.”
