Arizona Coyotes forward Brad Richardson fractured his tibia and fibula Thursday night, general manager John Chayka confirmed Friday, according to 98.7 Sports' Craig Morgan.
"We're still waiting to see what the plan of care is. No timeline (for recovery) has been set," Chayka said.
TSN's Bob McKenzie reports Richardson was scheduled to have surgery Friday morning.
The Coyotes winger was stretchered off the ice Thursday night after an awkward collision with Vancouver Canucks defenseman Nikita Tryamkin. He was taken to hospital for further evaluation.
Richardson scored his fifth goal of the season earlier in Thursday's contest, and now has nine points in 15 games.
