Richards (upper body) is improving and skated in the morning, but will miss Tuesday night's game against the Jets, the Blackhawks reported. Richards missed Sunday's victory over the Maple Leafs, but it appears that he should be ready for Saturday's game in Colorado. Richards has six goals and 12 assists in 32 games, trailing the pace that led him to an already-disappointing 20 goals and 31 assists in 82 games with the Rangers last year.
