Mike Richards recorded two assists in Monday's 3-2 win over St. Louis. Richards went through a stretch when he had just one assist in six contests, but he's bounced back lately with a goal and four points in his last four games. He should be able to maintain his current pace, which would translate to roughly 64 points in 2013-14.

Mike Richards took part in his 600th career game on Monday. Richards had a goal and two penalty minutes in the Kings' 3-2 overtime victory. He has played in at least 73 games in every campaign since 2007-08 with the exception of the shortened season. He participated in all 48 contests in 2013.

Mike Richards is on a five-game point streak. With an assist on Tuesday, Richards now has 17 points in 18 games this season. That's a big step up from the 76 points in 122 points he recorded in his first two seasons with the Kings, but he's recorded around a point-per-game in the past. We think he'll cool down and finish the season below the 80-point mark, but there's a decent chance that he'll flirt with the 70-point milestone.

Mike Richards scored a goal and recorded an assist in the Kings' 2-0 win over the Sabres Thursday night. Richards now has four goals and nine assists in 16 games. Anze Kopitar scored the other goal on power play for the Kings.

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).

Mike Richards scored the Kings' lone goal in regulation time before the team recorded a 2-1 shootout victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Los Angeles Sunday night. It was the second goal of the season for Richards.

Mike Richards netted his 28th career shorthanded goal in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Phoenix Coyotes. Richards is just 28, but he's already tied with Martin St. Louis for the career lead in shorthanded goals among active players. He's also in a tie for 24th place in the all-time list. The marker was also Richards' first goal of the season and the game-winner. He has seven points in 11 contests this season.

Mike Richards registered an assist in the Kings' 2-1 shootout victory on Thursday. Richards now has five points in eight games this season. He's also still searching for his first goal, but what's more concerning is that he has just 11 shots on goal so far this season. He's more of a playmaker than a goal scorer, but if he still should be counted on to find the back of the net 15-20 times if he starts firing the puck more.

Mike Richards had a goal and an assist as the Kings beat the Rangers 4-1 in the first half of their annual Frozen Fury weekend in Las Vegas. Anze Kopitar, Jeff Carter and Trevor Lewis also scored for the Kings while Jonathan Quick stopped 22 shots. J.T Miller tallied the only goal for the Rangers.

Mike Richards felt more comfortable in his second season with the Los Angeles Kings. "Especially after you win a championship, and more so after the first couple months, you start feeling more comfortable and confident to say things in the dressing room," Richards said. "Maybe your first season you're a little bit tentative to step up in different ways, but I think this year with pretty much the same group as we had last year, I think everybody stepped up in different ways when things needed to be said." Richards signed a 12-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, but was traded to Los Angeles. He's under their control through 2019-20.
