Doan is expected to make his preseason debut Monday against the Canucks, NHL.com's Dave Vest reports.

Analysis:

Doan was originally expected to miss Monday's contest due to a nagging lower-body injury he's been dealing with throughout training camp, so the fact that he's returning to action ahead of schedule is certainly a positive development for the veteran winger's owners. He will return to his role on the Coyotes' top line in 2015-16.
