GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan has been cleared to return after a bout with Rocky Mountain Fever and could play this weekend. Out since Dec. 4, Doan made a slow recovery, but has been skating with the team and hopes to play against Philadelphia on Saturday night. "I think my energy level is high," Doan said Friday. "Obviously, its the first game and with everything kind went on the past month, well see how the energy level is. Hopefully, itll be good, but Im not worried about that because Ive done everything I can to feel good and be ready to go." Doctors were unsure of what was causing Doans flu-like symptoms when he first fell ill. He slowly started to improve by taking antibiotics and doctors determined he had Rocky Mountain Fever, a bacterial disease that affects the lining of blood cells and is often contracted by ticks. Doan steadily increased his activities, first away from the ice, and joined his team in practice this week. The Coyotes had targeted Doans return for next week, but hes looked so good -- not to mention anxious to play -- that theres a good chance hell play against the Flyers. "The way he looks out there and hes got the green light from the doctors, I would think that it would be hard to keep him out of the game tomorrow night," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. Doan got off to one of the best starts of his career this season, scoring 12 goals and adding 11 assists in 27 games. The Coyotes have been uneven in 12 games without their captain, going 4-3-5 while missing his presence on the ice as several other players have missed games with injuries or illnesses. "Weve been in so many tight games and its tough to watch when youre in tight games and want to help out," Doan said. "Guys are battling and doing everything they can to find ways to win, and you want to help out." Joel Matip Liverpool Jersey .
