Ritchie was recalled from Anaheim's AHL affiliate in San Diego on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie has started his first professional campaign in impressive fashion this season, as he has picked up nine goals and three assists in his first 12 games in the AHL. Ritchie, who was one of the last Ducks cuts in the preseason, could be in the lineup as early as Monday night in Carolina. Given his obvious offensive acumen, Ritchie might be an interesting waiver pickup in the coming weeks, especially if he gets a shot somewhere in Anaheim's top-six.
