SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -Center Brad Richards is back in the Dallas Stars’ lineup against the San Jose Sharks after missing 15 games with a wrist injury.
Richards had 48 points in 55 games this season for the Stars before breaking his wrist during a game at Columbus on Feb. 16. Richards didn’t undergo surgery, allowing the bone to heal on its own.
The Stars need offensive help from Richards, who still leads the team with 179 shots. He is Dallas’ third-leading scorer despite his five-week absence.
With just four wins in their last 14 games, the Stars began Saturday in a three-way tie for 10th place in the Western Conference. They trail eighth-place Nashville by three points.
