Shane Doan News
Doan (undisclosed) missed the morning skate; not expected to play on Monday.
The Avalanche have acquired Mikkel Boedker from the Coyotes for Alex Tanguay, Conner Bleackley and Kyle Wood.
Boedker, 26 spent the first eight seasons of his NHL career with the Coyotes, picking up 39 points (13G / 26A) in 62 games this season and 213 career points (80G / 133A) in 445 games with the Yotes. He is expected to slide right in for Tanguay in the Avs’ top-6.
Doan (lower-body) will return to the lineup on Saturday.
Doan (lower-body) will not play on Thursday; could play Friday.
Doan was on the ice for the Coyotes’ morning skate, but will miss his fifth consecutive game with a lower-body injury. According to head coach Dave Tippet, Doan is “close,” so he could be back on Friday vs. the Sabres.
Doan (lower-body) will travel on the Coyotes' five-game road trip.
Doan has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but he will travel with the Coyotes to Nashville for Tuesday’s game. It seems unlikely that Doan will play tomorrow, but he should play on the road trip.
Doan (lower-body) is questionable "at best" for Friday's game.
Line Change
Boedker could move to the point on the Coyotes’ power-play in 2015-16.
Arizona is trying to replace Keith Yandle on the power-play after trading him to New York last March. Bodega has never played the point in the NHL, but used to play there alongside Oliver Edman-Larsson when they were both in the AHL. Boedker could be a good fit on the blueline and it could lead to more power-play points for the 25-year-old.
The Coyotes signed Mikkel Boedker to a one-year, $3.75M contract extension.
Doan (lower-body) is probable for Saturday.
Doan missed Thursday’s game, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Ducks. Doan has 14 goals and 22 assists (36 points) in 78 games this season.
Doan (upper-body) will not play on Thursday.
Doan suffered an upper-body injury on Tuesday and was forced from the game. He was able to participate in the morning skate, but did not take part in line rushes and will be held out of the lineup tonight. Henrik Samuelsson has been recalled and will play in Doan’s spot.
Boedker (splenectomy) will not return this season.
Boedker has been out January 18th and GM Don Maloney confirmed on Sunday that he will miss the remainder of the season after rupturing his spleen. He finishes the year with 14 goals and 14 assists (28 points) in 45 games.
Boedker had successful surgery to remove his injured spleen; recovery is expected to be 4-6 weeks.
Boedker injured his spleen in the game against Winnipeg on Sunday and had it removed on that night. Boedker, who has 14 goals and 14 assists (28 points) in 45 games will be out of the Coyotes lineup for at least one month.
Boedker is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
Boedker suffered an upper-body injury in Winnipeg last night and will miss at least a couple of weeks as a result. As of last night, Boedker had played in 257 consecutive games, a streak that is obviously going to come to an end. With Boedker out, expect Martin Erat to get back into the lineup on Tuesday.
Doan (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Sunday.
Doan has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but could be back tonight vs. the Jets. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups.
Doan (lower-body) will not play on Saturday.
Doan will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury that he suffered on Tuesday vs. the Sharks. Despite being ruled out for tonight’s game, Coach Tippett would not rule him out of Sunday.
Doan (undisclosed) will not play on Thursday; listed as day-to-day.
This doesn’t come as a big surprise considering Doan was listed as doubtful on Wednesday. He will come out of the lineup, but thankfully for the Coyotes, Martin Hanzal is healthy and will replace Doan in the lineup. Monitor his status leading up to Saturday’s game in Minnesota.
