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.
