Brad Richards aggravated his groin during a scrimmage on Tuesday, but he doesn't think it's anything to worry about.
"Everything felt better today than it did yesterday," he said Wednesday. "I didn't know coming into this morning whether I'd skate or not. It was a little more prudent not to. Hopefully tomorrow I'll skate if everything keeps going. If it's not quite right, I'm not going to push it right now." Coach John Tortorella said that Richards was being kept off the ice for precautionary reasons. It's currently unclear if he will suit up in Friday's exhibition game against the Devils though. We'll keep you posted on his status.
