Shane Doan will miss at least one game with a suspected concussion.

The Arizona Coyotes captain won't play Monday against the Calgary Flames and will enter the league's concussion protocol, head coach Dave Tippett said, according to Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Craig Morgan.

Doan left Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers after being driven into the boards headfirst by Radko Gudas, who didn't receive supplemental discipline.

The Coyotes have six games remaining following Monday's contest, and Doan said last week that he was "probably" leaning toward returning next season.

Arizona defenseman Michael Stone also left Saturday's game with an injury, and Tippett acknowledged Monday that the blue-liner likely won't be back in 2015-16.

"It's longer term than the season has left in it. I would say he would be done for the season," Tippett said.

The St. Louis Blues will welcome Alexander Steen back to the lineup Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche, the team announced Monday.

Steen has been out since Feb. 20 after a collision with Arizona Coyotes defenseman Kevin Connauton caused him to fall awkwardly. He's missed the last 15 games.

"It was just a waiting game, that's all it was," Steen said. "I wasn't overly concerned about how many games (I'd miss) or if I was going to play before the playoffs. My main concern was getting it good enough to play again, and here we are. I'm excited to get back.

"It's been awhile, I’ve missed the boys and missed being a part of the action."

The 32-year-old is expected to center a line between David Backes and Patrick Berglund. He has 17 goals and 47 points in 61 games this season.

Nail Yakupov's agent acknowledges the Edmonton Oilers tried to trade his client before the deadline at his request, and more than a handful of teams were involved.

NHL legend Igor Larionov, who represents the forward, confirmed Monday on Sportsnet 590 The FAN that both the Oilers and Yakupov's camp made an effort to find the 22-year-old a new team.

Larionov said he talked to "maybe six or seven teams" about Yakupov before Feb. 29, after receiving permission from the club to do so.

The agent spent "a lot of time" with general manager Peter Chiarelli and also spoke to head coach Todd McLellan, at which point the agent and the Oilers brain trust tried to see what was available.

Larionov said having five head coaches in four years is "too much" for Yakupov and that his client needs to play with a skilled center.

"Nail loves the city of Edmonton, he loves the fans, and obviously he would like to stay there, but I guess at some point he needs a fresh start ... to move on," the agent added.

Larionov said he hopes there will be more opportunities to find his client "the right spot" at June's NHL draft in Buffalo, N.Y.

Yakupov has one more year remaining on his contract after this season at a cap hit of $2.5 million, and he's a pending restricted free agent in 2017-18.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Minnesota Wild left-wing Zach Parise, St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott and Pittsburgh Penguins right-wing Phil Kessel have been named the NHL's three stars for the week. Parise led the NHL with five goals and shared t...

If all goes according to Montreal Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien, forward Brendan Gallagher and P.K. Subban will be back in the lineup this season.

The Canadiens took to the ice Monday one day before their game against the Detroit Red Wings, and Therrien insisted that Gallagher and Subban, who remain out with lower-body and neck injuries, respectively, will both be back before season's end.

Subban has been out since March 10 after taking an Alexei Emelin knee to the head, and though he has been practicing with the team, he still awaits full medical clearance from the team doctors, according to TSN's John Lu.

Meanwhile, Gallagher's lower-body injury has kept him out of the lineup since March 5. Despite the optimism of his head coach, he has yet to join the team for practice since the injury.

Goaltender Carey Price took the ice again Monday, but Therrien appeared less confident about a possible return this season, simply saying, "I hope so."

Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise, St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott, and Pittsburgh Penguins forward Phil Kessel have been named the NHL's three stars of the week.

Parise took home top honors after leading the league with five goals and seven points in three games. His offensive outburst helped push his club's current winning streak to five games, moving them back into a playoff spot.

Elliott was named the runner up after a perfect week that saw him shutout the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks. His two goose eggs helped the Blues clinch their fifth straight playoff berth, while matching a career high with his third straight shutout.

Kessel's two best games since becoming a member of the Penguins earned him third place honors. The 28-year-old finished with seven points in three games, five of which came in 7-2 drumming of the Detroit Red Wings.

Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella is less than thrilled with the way his team has been playing.

The club was creamed by the Nashville Predators 5-1 on Saturday, and Tortorella wants to avoid another brutal loss when the Blue Jackets visit the Washington Capitals Monday.

"I do not want our team and our organization embarrassed again, and we were," Tortorella said, according to Todd Jones of the Columbus Dispatch. "There's nothing positive to say about our team right now based off last game."

Asked if the team's recent 1-3-0 record has made him the most disappointed since he joined the club, he was frank.

"I'm not disappointed, I'm pissed," Tortorella said.

Preparing for Monday's game against the Eastern Conference's top team, the outspoken coach didn't have a lot of optimism.

Asked who is playing well for #CBJ right now, Tortorella said: "No one. It’s based off of last game."

The Blue Jackets currently hold claim to the second worst record in the Eastern Conference.

Former Pittsburgh Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, and Buffalo Sabres center Ryan O'Reilly are among the nominees for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.

The award recognizes perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey. Members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association vote within their respective chapters, and a single nominee is determined for each club.

Dupuis was forced to retire due to blood clots in December. Gostisbehere recovered from a torn ACL and is among the NHL's rookie scoring leaders despite playing fewer games than most of his contemporaries.

O'Reilly's selection as the Sabres' nominee is somewhat controversial.

The 25-year-old forward leads the Sabres in points, assists, and faceoff percentage, and routinely stays on the ice after practice to run his own drills with teammates in what general manager Tim Murray calls "The O'Reilly Practices," according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

O'Reilly was charged with impaired driving last July after allegedly crashing his pickup truck into a Tim Hortons coffee shop in rural Ontario, Canada. His trial will begin July 11, 2016.

Here are the rest of the nominees who have been announced:

Team	Player
Boston Bruins	Jonas Gustavsson
Carolina Hurricanes	Nathan Gerbe
Chicago Blackhawks	Michal Rozsival
Colorado Avalanche	Carl Soderberg
Detroit Red Wings	Pavel Datsyuk
Dallas Stars	Jamie Benn
Montreal Canadiens	Mike Condon
Nashville Predators	Carter Hutton
New York Rangers	Mats Zuccarello
Ottawa Senators	Zack Smith
San Jose Sharks	Joe Thornton
St. Louis Blues	Brian Elliott
Tampa Bay Lightning	Anton Stralman
Washington Capitals	Dmitry Orlov
Winnipeg Jets	Dustin Byfuglien

The winner will be revealed at the NHL Awards in June.

The Ottawa Senators forward Clarke MacArthur and defenseman Dion Phaneuf will miss the remainder of the regular season, the team announced on Monday.

MacArthur was expected to be shut down after missing all but four games of the regular season with a concussion. The 30-year-old had been cleared to return, but both team doctors and management believe it's in MacArthur's best interest for him to sit out the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, Phaneuf missed the last two games with an oblique injury and soreness in high right foot. X-rays of the foot came back negative, but according to the club, further tests revealed a hairline fracture.

Both players are expected to be healthy for the start of training camp next season.

MacArthur went pointless this season in his limited action, while Phaneuf concludes the year with four goals and 32 points in 71 games split between the Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
