Ritchie will serve a two-game suspension for punching Chicago's Michal Rozsival on Thursday, per the NHL Department of Player Safety.

EDGE Analysis

This ban will result in Ritchie missing Game 1 of the Ducks opening-round playoff series. It could have been worse for the 21-year-old but he was cited by the league as not being a repeat offender, which likely served to limited the length of his suspension. The winger, who has failed to record a point in five straight contests, will likely be replaced in the lineup Sunday against the Kings by Jared Boll.
