Doan has missed the last 12 games because of an infection, but will play tonight vs. the Flyers. Doan had been extremely fatigued because of the bacterial infection, so expect them to ease him back into action tonight. Doan has 23 points (12G / 11A) in 27 games.
Doan has missed the last 12 games because of an infection. It sounds like he will be activated from IR on Saturday and play vs. the Flyers. Doan was on fire before he got sick and has 23 points (12G / 11A) in 27 games.
Doan has missed the last 10 games with a form of Rocky Mountain Fever. His return appears to be on the horizon, which would be huge for the Coyotes. Doan was on-fire before getting sick and has a total of 12 goals and 23 points in 27 games. Consider him questionable for Tuesday.
"He’s still our leading goal scorer and we’ve scored only three goals in the last three games," General Manager Don Maloney said. "So, there you go. With Shane, he can play the inside heavy game, and what I’ve found lately is that the majority of chances we’re getting are from the outside. To me that’s where we miss him more than anything on the ice."
If he were to meet the team at one of their four stops, Doan could start skating at that time. But, considering he’s remaining in the Valley for now, a return to the ice isn’t imminent. “His weight is pretty the same,” Tippett said. “When you’re sick, you’ve got some fatigue, and that’s going to take a few days to get over. I think that’s the biggest issue right now.”
"[The Coyotes] are still waiting for test results on Doan, but he was at rink and in a meeting today laughing and joking," Coyotes head coach Dave Tippet said . Doan sounds like he is feeling better and progressing well which is obviously a positive sign for the Coyotes. They will be in Montreal on Tuesday, monitor Doan's status for the trip.
This is a tough break for the Coyotes captain who was having a great season prior to getting il. Doan had registered 12 goals and 11 assists (23 points) in 27 games. Doan is expected to get further tests because an illness lingering around as long as this one has could be serious.
Doan did not play on Friday and will sit out at least one more game as he continues to battle an illness. The 37-year-old is having a tremendous start to the season, posting 12 goals and 23 points in 27 games. He could be available back in Phoenix on Thursday vs. the Islanders.
Doan is listed as day-to-day but has a couple of days to recover before the Coyotes next game. Phoenix is off until Tuesday when they take on the Avalanche, monitor Doan's status prior to that contest.
Doan left Monday's game after playing just 9:43 and did not return. He skated on Tuesday and was present during the Coyotes optional this morning. Head coach Dave Tippet said he is probable, which means he will play barring any setbacks between now and puck-drop. Doan has been on an absolute tear posting 10 goals and six assists in his last 15 games. His 11 goals have him tied for 16th.
It would be devastating for the Coyotes if Doan can't paly on Wednesday because he has been on a tear as of late. Doan has nine goals and six assists (15 points) in his last 13 games. His absence from practice this morning is worrisome, but monitor his status and expect an update following Wednesday's game-day skate.
Doan missed Tuesday with lower-body injury, but should be back in the lineup tonight. The longtime Coyote still skates in the top-6 but is not the player he used to be. He has just one goal and two assists in nine games.
Doan wasn't reported to be dealing with any sort of injury following Saturday's win over the Red Wings. He skated this morning but was was the first one to leave the ice, suggesting something could have happened in the morning skate.
Doan returns to the lineup Thursday night. The Coyotes captain scored 21 goals and 47 points in 74 games.
Doan now has a maximum of five games played. He will next play on Thursday, March 29th.
After scoring only 18 and 20 goals over the past two seasons, the Coyotes expect their captain to score a few more.
In Dave Tippett's system, Doan's offensive production has been a bit scaled back -- dropping from 73 and 78 points under Gretzky to 60 and 55 points. Regardless, the Halkirk, Alberta native certainly feels comfortable in Phoenix and should be good for 55+ points, 60 PIM and a bonus if your league matriculates hits.
