New York Rangers goalie Mike Richter has experienced little change in his battle with postconcussion syndrome the past three-plus weeks and will remain sidelined indefinitely.

Richter visited team neurologist Karen Johnston in Montreal on Monday, the Newark Star-Ledger reported in Tuesday's editions, as he tries to let his brain heal from a second concussion in eight months. Appointments with Johnston are part of the protocol Richter is following in his rehab.

Since suffering the latest concussion during a 5-2 victory over Edmonton on Nov. 5, the Star-Ledger reported Richter has been waiting to go 48 hours without experiencing postconcussion symptoms such as fatigue or lightheadedness. He has not arrived at that two-day period yet. More (http://espn.go.com/nhl/news/2002/1210/1474757.html)
