Richardson (lower body) was activated from injured reserve and will play Saturday against Dallas, Adam Vingan of The Athletic

EDGE Analysis

Richardson hasn't played since March 9, a span of 25 games. He's not exactly a fantasy darling (three points in 12 games, 11 in 59 last season), but he's a bottom-six staple in the Predators' lineup and should at minimum provide an emotional boost to the team in an important matchup with playoff implications against the Stars.

Richardson (lower body) is not in Monday's lineup against Florida.

EDGE Analysis

Richarson is still considered day-to-day but hasn't played since March 9. The 36-year-old has three points in 12 games this season.

Richardson (lower body) is not in Friday's lineup against the Blackhawks.

Richardson (lower body) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson has missed 35 of the past 39 games while dealing with the lower-body issue, and he'll miss another Wednesday.

The 36-year-old has just three points and 10 shots through 12 games this campaign.

Richardson (lower body) is now considered day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson has missed 35 of the last 39 games while battling multiple injuries. The 36-year-old has three points through 12 games while averaging 12:17 of ice time. He'll be questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Chicago.

Richardson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson was just activated off injured reserve last Wednesday after missing time with an upper-body injury only to return to the injured list one week later with a lower-body issue. Michael McCarron will likely get the first crack at replacing Richardson on Nashville's fourth line.

Richardson (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson is available for Thursday's game versus the Panthers. The 36-year-old hasn't played since Jan. 30. He posted two points through the first eight games while averaging 11:35 per contest before this injury.

Richardson (upper body) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Red Wings, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson has been skating, so he's closing in on a return. For the time being, the 36-year-old forward will remain on injured reserve. Once he gains clearance, Richardson should bump back into a bottom-six role, where he registered two points and seven hits over the first eight games.

Richardson (upper body) could return to the lineup as early as Tuesday's clash with the Red Wings, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson last played Jan. 30 versus Tampa Bay, a stretch of nine games on the sidelines due to his upper-body problem. The 36-year-old Ontario native has recorded one goal on five shots, one assist and seven hits while averaging 11:35 of ice time. Once given the green light, Richardson will likely slot into a bottom-six role, which will limit his opportunities to get on the scoresheet.

The Predators placed Richardson (upper body) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson will miss Nashville's next two games at a minimum now that he's been placed on IR. The 35-year-old forward's absence will test the Preds' depth up front, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only totaled 13 points in 67 games over the past two campaigns.
