It’s a big blow for the Coyotes, but they’ll be without captain and driving force Shane Doan in Game 4 against Detroit on Tuesday night.
Shane Doan Out For Phoenix In Game 4
SBN’s Five For Howling shares the news, along with how the team can overcome the blow.
Well it's official. No Shane Doan today for the Coyotes. After his spill into the boards following a trip over Jimmy Howard he'll get this game off at least. Vernon Fiddler will play in his place as he's finally healed up after the hard fall he took in game 2.
The Coyotes will have to come out early and set the tone just like they did in game 3. Sure, they don't need to score just seconds into the game (Though I'm not ruling it out), but with or without Captain Coyote in the lineup they have to go out and assert themselves. The new forward line of Wolski-LombardiStempniak should be a good one if they can break free of the Detroit defense. The Czech line, okay Petr Prucha, really asserted themselves on Sunday as well and we'll look for a resurgence there.
