Brad Richardson News

Richardson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

On Thursday, Richardson came out of the lineup for the first time this season and is questionable for Monday’s game due to an upper-body injury. Barrett Hayton filled in admirably on Friday, so look for him to remain in the lineup if Richardson can’t go.

The Blues have signed Brayden Schenn to an eight-year extension worth $52.0 million ($6.5M AAV).

Schenn was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season but the Blues have locked him up through the 2027-28 season. Schenn failed to record a point in the season opener but is coming off of a 54-point season (17G / 37A) in 2018-19.

Schenn (upper-body) will return to the Blues lineup on Wednesday.

Schenn has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but skated on the top-line in Tuesday’s practice and will play Wednesday in Anaheim. Schenn was red-hot before getting hurt, picking up 15 points (2G / 13A) in his last 14 games.

Richardson is expected to be back in the Coyotes lineup on Thursday; officially a game-time decision.

Richardson (illness) will draw back into the Coyotes lineup on Wednesday.

Richardson has missed the last three games with the flu but will replace Nick Schmaltz in the lineup on Wednesday. Richardson is projected to start on a line with Alex Galchenyuk and Vinnie Hinostroza and returns to the lineup with 10 goals and four assists (14 points) in 36 games this season.

Schenn (upper-body) will be back in the Blues lineup on Friday.

Despite being placed on IR on Thursday, Schenn will play tonight in Vegas. Schenn’s move to IR was retroactive to November 3rd, so he is eligible to be activated before tonight’s game. Schenn is expected to skate on a line with Tyler Bozak and Robby Fabbri and returns to the lineup with nine points (3G / 6A) in 12 games this season.

Brayden Schenn
The Blues have placed Brayden Schenn (upper-body) on IR.

Schenn has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, so his movement to IR was just to create a roster spot to recall Sammy Blais before they head to Vegas and San Jose. Schenn is expected to miss both of those games, but is eligible to return whenever he is healthy.

Schenn (upper-body) is questionable for Tuesday.

Schenn suffered and upper-body injury on Saturday and missed Monday’s practice. Blues head coach Mike Yeo listed Schenn as questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Hurricanes. Ryan O’Reilly moved up to the top line with Schenn not on the ice this morning.

The Coyotes re-signed Brad Richardson to a two-year contract worth $2.5M ($1.25M AAV).

Richardson is entering his fourth season with the Coyotes and he has become one of their key penalty killers and fourth liners. Richardson is coming off of a down offensive year, but has the ability to chip-in 25-plus points.

Richardson (upper-body) is expected to miss an extended period of time.

Richardson left last Thursday’s game vs. the Blue Jackets and it sounds like he’s going to miss some time. The Coyotes don’t play until Thursday so expect an update on Richardson’s status prior to their next contest. Regardless, Richardson doesn’t have a lot of fantasy appeal, picking up just nine points (3G / 6A) in 44 games this season.

Richardson suffered a broken tibia and fibula on Thursday; out indefinitely.

Richardson was injured in a collision with Canucks’ defenseman Nikita Tryamkin in Thursday’s win over Vancouver. Richardson had to be stretchered off of the ice and underwent surgery to repair the broken bones on Friday. The Coyotes have not ruled out a possible return to the lineup this season, but expect Dylan Strome to step back into the lineup with Richardson out.
