Flyers' Richards to have shoulder surgery

Flyers captain Mike Richards will have surgery on Friday to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Richards scored 30 goals and had 50 assists this season during the regular season and added a goal and four assists in the first round of the playoffs as the Flyers fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games.

Richards signed a 12-year, $69 million contract extension in December 2007.
