Coyotes' Anthony DeAngelo: Will miss next two preseason contests

DeAngelo (lower body) won't participate in Friday's preseason matchup with San Jose or Saturday's preseason game against the Ducks, Craig Morgan of AZ Sports reports.

Analysis:

The Coyotes initially thought DeAngelo may be ready to return to action in Friday's contest, but it appears the team has decided to hold the 20-year-old out of this weekend's games as a precautionary measure. The 2014 first-round pick is expected to return to the lineup in time for Monday's preseason game against Vancouver or Wednesday's preseason matchup with Calgary, indicating his lower-body ailment isn't believed to be overly serious. Either way, DeAngelo will want to return to the ice as soon as possible, as he isn't a lock for a spot on the Coyotes' Opening Night roster due to the team's substantial depth at defense.
