Richard was recalled as an emergency recall after the Trade Deadline, and since there is the expected return of Brendan Gallagher and Kirby Dach, the emergency conditions no longer were met.

Jesse Ylönen also missed practice due to a non-COVID illness and is likely out for Tuesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Bell Centre.
