Tavares missed Monday's practice with an illness and will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Coyotes. Tavares is reportedly feeling much better but his status is still up in the air.

Ekman-Larsson won't play Tuesday vs. the Oilers which means the Coyotes will lean heavily on Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski for another game. Ekman-Larsson is day-to-day.
Ekman-Larsson was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. the Kings and will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Kyle Capobianco was recalled from the AHL and could play if O.E.L can't play on Saturday.
