Anthony Richard (born December 20, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward for HC Fribourg-Gotteron of the National League (NL). He was selected in the fourth round, 100th overall, by the Nashville Predators in the 2015 NHL entry draft. Richard has also previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, and Philadelphia Flyers. Richard played major junior hockey with the Val-d'Or Foreurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and was drafted in 2015 by the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the fourth round (100th overall). In his fourth and final season with the Foreurs in 2015–16, Richard was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators on November 14, 2015. In the 2018–19 season, Richard was recalled from American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, to the Predators on December 1, 2018, due to an injury to forward Filip Forsberg and made his NHL debut the same day against the Chicago Blackhawks in a 5–2 victory. He was returned to the Admirals following the game. During the 2021–22 season, having contributed with 7 goals and 12 points through 31 regular season games with the Milwaukee while in the midst of his sixth year within the Predators organization, Richard was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Jimmy Huntington on February 1, 2022. On July 13, 2022, Richard signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens for the 2022–23 season. With his customary jersey number 20 already in use by Juraj Slafkovský, Richard instead adopted number 90, in reference to iconic Canadiens player Maurice "Rocket" Richard's number 9.
