Michalek (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Islanders, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Coyotes will hope to get Michalek back as soon as possible, as they've been terrible defensively during his two-game absence, allowing at least five goals in each of their last two contests. They'll be without the 32-year-old blueliner for at least one more game, however, as his next opportunity to return to Arizona's lineup won't come until Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.
