Ritchie signed a professional tryout agreement with the Panthers on Tuesday, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie had 13 points in 50 games between the Flames and the Coyotes last season, his highest output since 2017-18. The 30-year-old winger projects as nothing more than a bottom-six option at best, but he'll have a chance to earn a full contract with the Panthers if he does well in camp.

Ritchie recorded an assist in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie ended his seven-game point drought with a helper on Milos Kelemen's third-period tally. While he's seen steadier playing time with Arizona, Ritchie's offense hasn't been consistent enough to earn fantasy attention. Through 45 contests this season, he has 13 points, 63 shots on net, 74 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-1 rating between the Flames and the Coyotes.

Ritchie (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie will have to miss at least one game with the injury. He's seen fourth-line usage in recent contests, so his absence won't be noticed in most fantasy formats. Bokondji Imama will step into Ritchie's spot in the lineup.

Ritchie scored a goal on three shots, added two assists and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie stepped in for Nick Schmaltz (lower body) as the right wing alongside Clayton Keller and Barrett Hayton. That proved to be a good choice from head coach Andre Tourigny, as Ritchie helped out on both of Hayton's goals before scoring one of his own. With four points through three games with the Coyotes, Ritchie is already halfway to matching his total from 34 outings with the Flames prior to the trade deadline. He has eight tallies, four helpers, 54 shots on net, 62 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-3 rating this season.

Ritchie scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie missed three games following his trade from the Flames to the Coyotes due to visa issues. He opened the scoring at 8:45 of the first period in this contest, earning his first point since Dec. 23. The winger was often scratched in Calgary, but he should be a fixture in the Coyotes' bottom six going forward. He has seven tallies, two assists, 50 shots on net, 59 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 35 appearances between the two teams.
