After suffering from serious scoring issues to start 2013-14, Mike Richards is really revving up his production lately. Richards has scored in five of his last six games (three goals, three assists) to push his season points total to 11. One of his three tallies this season came shorthanded, and he's one of the rare players who are close to dependable in the mostly unreliable and random SHG category. With Jeff Carter and Jarret Stoll hurt, he's likely to get big minutes like he has the past few games (21+ minutes in three of the last four).
