Blackhawks forward Brad Richards will miss the final three regular-season games due to an upper-body injury but is expected to return for the playoffs, coach Joel Quenneville said Tuesday.

Quenneville didn't reveal when or how Richards suffered the injury. 

Chicago's Kyle Baun will make his NHL debut in place of Richards against the Wild on Tuesday. Baun signed with the Blackhawks on March 26 after completing his junior season at Colgate.
