Chicago Blackhawks vs. Los Angeles Kings Start Time, Preview, TV
- Updated: January 28, 2015
The Los Angeles Kings will get a break from traveling tonight as they host the Chicago Blackhawks in their first game back following the All-Star break.
The Kings waived veteran Mike Richards over the weekend, and as of noon yesterday, he was cleared from the waivers.
“Richards has just 15 points in 47 games this season. Yesterday the Kings placed Richards on waivers and no one picked him up.
There were trade talks between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Kings for Richards but nothing came out of it. With Richards clearing waivers it shows that he is not worth his 5.75 million dollars.
Clearing waivers means that Richards will be sent down to the AHL Manchester Monarchs. If the Kings wanted to they could move him back up for the playoffs.”
The Kings most recently lost 4-2 to the San Jose Sharks on the road.
As for the Chicago Blackhawks, they will be focused on winning after getting victories in back-to-back games. This will be the start of a six game road trip for the team.
In the two team’s last meeting with each other, Blackhawk’s player Brad Richards scored two goals, and Corey Crawford made 19 saves on 20 shots to help their team win the first game against the Kings.
