Ritchie was released from his professional tryout by the Blues on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie will look for a new home after playing 74 NHL games last season with Arizona and Calgary. The feisty forward had 13 goals, 13 assists, 53 PIM and 218 hits in 2022-23, so he could be a solid bottom-six option for another team.
