Mike Richards: Past News Updates ( u25b2 View most recent update )
Richards bounced back (12 goals, 20 assists in 48 games) in his second year as a King thanks to some timely production on the power play and a nice finishing kick to the season. But he does come with some warning signs this season. His shooting percentage (14.6 percent) was a career high and his concussion history reared itself again in the playoffs. He's never been a volume shooter since leaving the Flyers, so he'll seriously need to sustain his power play production. He'll be back as the team's second-line center behind Anze Kopitar.
