Ekman-Larsson will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury and is still “a few days away from playing” according to head coach Dave Tippet. This is a huge blow to the Coyotes blueline and a team that will look to snap a 10-game road losing streak.

Bobrovsky has been sidelined by a groin injury since January 21st, but will return to the crease tonight vs. the Penguins. Prior to getting injured, Bobrovsky had lost six of his last seven (1-4-2). Bobrovsky has gone 4-7-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .895 SV% on home ice this season, but is 2-0-0 with a 0.98 GAA and .963 SV% in two starts vs. Pittsburgh.

Ekman-Larsson left Monday’s game with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. O.E.L is the backbone of the Coyotes’ lineup and it would be crippling if he can’t play on Wednesday. Monitor Ekman-Larsson’s status during the Coyotes’ morning skate.

Sissons, 22, has one goal and one assist in 19 games with the Predators this season. He has picked up 19 points (8G / 11A) in 38 games with Milwaukee and will be in the lineup on Tuesday with Paul Gaustad out.

Domi will sit out on Saturday, but is eligible to return to the Coyotes lineup on Monday in Colorado. With Domi out, Alex Tanguay is expected to make his Coyotes debut.

Nylander, 19, has skated in 37 regular season games with the Marlies this season and ranks tied for ninth in league scoring with 45 points (18G / 27A). The 19-year-old was one of three Marlies players selected to skate in the 2016 AHL All-Star Game. Nylander was drafted by Toronto in the 1st round (8th overall) during the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Ekman-Larsson took part in the Coyotes’ morning skate and is listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game. Monitor OEL’s status during pregame warmups, which get underway at 6:30 p.m EST.

Sissons, 22, has appeared in 19 games for the Predators in 2015-16, notching a pair of points (1G /1A) and a 59 percent success rate in the face-off circle, best among all NHLers taking at least 100 draws. He has also served as the youngest captain in Milwaukee Admirals history this season, amassing 16 points (6G / 10A) in 33 games.

Ekman-Larsson suffered a lower-body injury in his first shift on Saturday, but could be in the lineup tonight in Washington. Ekman-Larsson has been excellent since the All-Star break, scoring three goals with eight assists (11 points) in nine games. Monitor OEL’s status during the Coyotes morning skate.

Ekman-Larsson left after getting tangled up with Vladimir Tarasenko and never returned. The Coyotes did not provide an update on OEL’s status, but if the Coyotes have a shot at making the playoffs, they need Ekman-Larsson in the lineup.

Paul, 20, may make his NHL debut on Tuesday with Mika Zibanejad questionable with an illness. Paul has picked up 17 points (6G / 11A) in 45 games with Binghamton this season. He centred the fourth line with Shane Prince and Chris Neil on the wing in the Senators’ morning skate.

Paul did not appear in a game with the Senators during his call-up. He head back to Binghamton, where he has 17 points (6G / 11A) in 43 games this season.

Stolarz, 22, has gone 15-10-3 with a 2.45 GAA and .915 SV% in 29 games with Lehigh Valley this season. With Michal Neuvirth our for at least one week, Stolarz has been recalled to backup Steve Mason. The Flyers have a back-to-back on the weekend, so Stolarz could make his NHL debut.
