Anthony Richard (born December 20, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing for the Laval Rocket in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Richard played major junior hockey with the Val-d'Or Foreurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and was drafted by the Nashville Predators in 4th round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, 100th overall.
In his fourth and final season with the Foreurs in 2015–16, Richard was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators on November 14, 2015.[1]
In the 2018–19 season, Richard was recalled from AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, to the Predators on December 1, 2018 due to an injury to forward Filip Forsberg and made his NHL debut the same day against the Chicago Blackhawks in a 5–2 victory.[2][3] He was returned to the Admirals following the game.
During the 2021–22 season, having contributed with 7 goals and 12 points through 31 regular season games with the Milwaukee Admirals while in the midst of his sixth year within the Predators organization, Richard was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Jimmy Huntington on February 1, 2022.[4]
On July 13, 2022, Richard signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens for the 2022–23 season.[5]
