DETROIT -- Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan will not play tonight in Game 4 against the Detroit Red Wings, coach Dave Tippett said.



Doan did not skate this morning. Tippett said the forward's upper-body injury (believed to be his right shoulder) is not long-term and believes there is a chance he can play in Game 5 on Friday in Phoenix.



"With two days before our next game, it's best for him to wait a couple of days,'' Tippett said. "Early on, he was upset. His demeanor yesterday was good. He knows he's not going to be out long-term. Rest tonight and, hopefully, he can jump in on Friday.''



Doan was injured two minutes into the second period in Game 3 when he stumbled over goaltender Jimmy Howard and crashed his right shoulder into the boards.



Center Vernon Fiddler will return from his upper-body injury to replace Doan in the lineup.
