Richards among 5 Flyers needing surgery
Flyers captain Mike Richards will need surgery on his injured wrist, general manager Paul Holmgren told reporters during his end-of-season news conference.
Holmgren said Richards has been bothered by a torn ligament since training camp.
Richards was not available to speak to the media Monday. Richards was at the practice facility briefly before leaving for a doctor's appointment.
Other surgeries for the Flyers that Holmgren announced:
Kris Versteeg - stomach lining
Michael Leighton - hip
Blair Betts - finger
Andrej Meszaros - wrist
Scott Hartnell and Jeff Carter might need hip surgery.
The Flyers are still not sure about surgery for Chris Pronger.
