Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse is feeling 'sick' and is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Kings.

Arizona Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse is not expected to play Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings due to an illness.

According coach André Tourigny, Crouse was feeling ‘sick’ yesterday and would be a game time decision.

Steve Peters of PHNX Sports reported earlier this morning that Crouse skated for a short period of time during practice today but is unlikely to play tonight.

Through the first six games, Crouse just has one assist and is yet to get on the score sheet so far.

If Crouse is indeed unable to go for tonight, expect Zach Sanford to be a prime candidate for his replacement.

Sanford was called up from the Tucson Roadrunners on Thursday. This would be his first game with the Coyotes if he does end up suiting up for the team.
