Brad Richardson made it look easy on Thursday night.

The Arizona Coyotes enjoyed a 37-save performance from goaltender Darcy Kuemper and won their fifth consecutive game 5-2 over the Vancouver Canucks, but the story ended up being the 34-year-old center whose career high in goals was 14, which he scored 12 years ago.

It all started when Richardson skipped an important staple of many NHL players on game day: the pre-game nap.

“I was pissed when I got here. I hadn’t napped. Maybe I’ll keep the trend going,” he said, later adding the reason why he didn’t sleep: “I got punched in the face last game and I can’t breathe out of my nose. So, I think it was something with that.”
