Richardson ended a six-game point drought with his helper on an Alex Chiasson tally in the third period. The 37-year-old Richardson has picked up four points in 16 games with the Canucks, matching his output from 27 contests with the Flames to begin the season. He's added 59 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-1 rating while mainly playing in a bottom-six role at both of his stops around the league in 2021-22.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson just had to get a stick on a pass from Elias Pettersson, and he converted at 13:03 of the second period. the 37-year-old Richardson won't share the ice much with the Canucks' top players -- he's been limited to a fourth-line role since he was claimed on waivers from the Flames. He's at seven points, 27 shots on net, 51 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 36 appearances this season.

Richardson scored a goal, logged two hits and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson put the Canucks ahead at 16:55 of the first period, and that tally stood as the game-winner. He's picked up a goal and an assist in his last two outings, though that accounts for all of his offense in six games for the Canucks. The 37-year-old has six points, 49 hits, 23 shots on goal, 31 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 33 outings between the Canucks and the Flames this season. He'll play almost exclusively in a fourth-line role.

Richardson recorded an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson earned his first point with the Canucks after he was claimed on waivers from the Flames last Monday. The 37-year-old set up Alex Chiasson's second-period tally in this contest. Richardson has just five points with 22 shots on net, 47 hits, 29 PIM and a minus-4 rating in 32 contests overall, and his bottom-six usage is unlikely to give him many chances to contribute on the scoresheet.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old will head back to Vancouver for his second stint with the club after spending two seasons there from 2013-15. Richardson has only managed four points in 27 games this season with the Flames, though, so he's not likely to provide much of a fantasy punch in his new digs.

Richardson was waived by Calgary on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson has dressed in just three of Calgary's last 26 games. The 37-year-old forward is averaging 9:56 of ice time with four points in 27 games this season. He could spend some time with AHL Stockton if he clears waivers.

Richardson has logged five shots on goal and three hits in his last three games.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson sat out 14 straight games as a healthy scratch, but he's now played in three in a row. The 37-year-old is centering the fourth line, so he's not going to add much on offense. He's at four points, 40 hits, 27 PIM and 19 shots on net through 27 games, but he'll need to play at a sufficient level to keep Adam Ruzicka from retaking a place in the lineup.

Richardson was a healthy scratch versus the Blues on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old forward has only played in four of the Flames' eight games in January. Richardson has been limited to a fourth-line role when he plays, picking up just four points, 37 hits, 23 PIM and 14 shots on net through 24 contests. He'll mainly compete with Adam Ruzicka and Brett Ritchie for playing time going forward.

Richardson cleared COVID-19 protocol and practiced Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth liner is back with the team after two weeks in protocol and should be in the lineup for Calgary's next game.
