The former Conn Smythe trophy winner suffered a broken wrist when he was drilled into the boards by Blue Jackets forward Jakub Voracek during the second period of Monday's Stars victory. He scored a goal earlier in the game.
Richards will meet with a specialist on Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury and necessary treatment.
Ugh.
Options now for the Stars: Toby Peterson or Mark Parrish could move up and play center and the Stars will certainly call Chris Connor back up from the AHL.
