Mike Richards did not play in the third period of the Los Angeles Kings' 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night after suffering an upper-body injury.
Richards took a hit to the head by Sean Bergenheim late in the second period, and was actually whistled for a double minor for retaliating on the play. Richards is the team's leading goal scorer with 11 and would be a huge loss if he's to miss an extended period of time. More information regarding his status should be available Friday.
