The Coyotes might be without their captain Tuesday. Alberta native Shane Doan, who sustained a lower-body injury in 5-2 win Saturday against the Wings, skated only briefly at an optional morning skate Tuesday and is questionable for the game Tuesday night game against the Flames at Jobing Arena. Doan skated briefly at an optional practice Monday and came off the ice looking disappointed. In anticipation of Doans probable absence, the Coyotes recalled Brandon Yip from the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League to add an extra forward to the roster. Center Tim Kennedy was sent back to the AHL. A notoriously slow starter, Doan has one goal and three points in the first nine games this season. His absence from the lineup would have a domino effect on the Phoenix lines, with Kyle Chipchura most likely taking his place among the top-nine forwards. Well see about Doan [Tuesday], Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said. Hes questionable for sure. We made a move in case we have to change things up.
