Brad Richards is not available on Friday for Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings center Brad Richards is dealing with a lower-body problem and not available for Friday's game against the Calgary Flames.

What It Means:

There's no word on how long this injury will keep Richards out, though it isn't expected to be long.

Through six games, Richards has racked up a pair of assists this year. It's a small sample size, but he has seen his Corsi For Percentage drop to 48.7 percent from 54.7 percent last year. Our projections see Richards picking up the pace with 15 goals and 25 more assists over the rest of the season.
