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.
