Rangers center Brad Richards required an X-ray on his finger after Eric Staal's stick whacked him on his left hand on the opening shift of the third period in New York's 4-2 win over Carolina Friday night. Staal went unpenalized for slashing despite Richards arguing for a call and slamming the door behind him when he returned to the bench. Despite slight swelling, Richards doesn't anticipate a problem. "I don't think that's going to be an issue," Richards said. "It's a bit of a stinger while it happens and, hopefully, tomorrow I wake up a little sore and move on."
