Ritchie has an upper-body injury and will sit out of Saturday's game versus the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie's absence will open the door for Kiefer Sherwood to enter the lineup at left wing.

Ritchie has been assessed a maximum fine of $4,121.86 for crosschecking Christian Folin of the Canadiens in Friday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie has avoided a suspension, which frankly is what matters the most to those depending on him in fantasy circles. The fourth-year winger will look to extend his point streak to three games in Sunday's home clash with the Kings.

Ritchie posted two assists, one on the power play, in an 8-2 win over the Canadiens on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie added four PIM in the contest as well, making for a well-rounded game. He saw a bump in his ice time as the Ducks used the hefty lead to give their more prominent players a little extra rest. The pair of helpers also gave Ritchie a new career high in points with 29 in 51 appearances this season. Perhaps most impressively, he has a plus-5 rating despite the Ducks' minus-53 goal differential as a team. The winger may have some appeal in deeper formats down the stretch.

Ritchie (lower body) will return to action Wednesday against the Blues, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie skipped the last two contests with a lower-body issue and his non-contact participation Monday seemed to suggest he would sit out Wednesday as well. His injury must be doing better after another night on the mend and the winger will send Daniel Sprong back to the press box. Ritchie should also retake his spot on the power play Wednesday, though a tough opposing netminder in rookie Jordan Binnington awaits.

Ritchie practiced in a red no-contact jersey Monday, Elliott Teaford of the OC Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie will need to be cleared for contact before he can return for game action, so a Tuesday return in Arizona seems unlikely, though not impossible, at this point. He's been out since March 1.

Ritchie (lower body) will not suit up for Sunday's game against Colorado, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old has just one assist in his last eight contests while averaging 14:32 of ice time. Still, he's on pace to surpass his career-high 28 points scoring two seasons ago. Kevin Roy is expected to replace him in the lineup.

Ritchie collected a primary assist in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie chased down a loose puck and fed Carter Rowney for a goal at the doorstep. It's easy to see countless fantasy owners losing faith in Anaheim's skaters since the team carries an egregious minus-52 goal differential, but Ritchie still qualifies as a sneaky play in deep leagues as the owner of eight goals, 18 helpers and six power-play points through 46 games.

Ritchie (illness) isn't listed among the Ducks' Sunday against the Capitals, suggesting that he'll draw into the lineup after missing the team's last game.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie should return to a fourth-line role alongside Ryan Kesler and Carter Rowney. The 23-year-old winger has some relevance in deeper formats considering he's racked up 25 points and 40 PIM in 42 games.

Ritchie (illness) won't play Friday against the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

With Ritchie under the weather, the recently recalled Troy Terry will draw into the lineup for Friday's contest. The 23-year-old winger will hope to recover in time for Sunday evening's matchup with the Capitals.

Ritchie has compiled six goals and 15 assists through 36 games this season, putting him on pace to establish a new career high in points.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie hasn't missed a beat despite holding out on his contract at the beginning of the season, with Anaheim's first-round (10th overall) draft pick seeing career highs in total ice time (15:17) and power-play action (four points, 1:54). Look for Ritchie to remain productive as long as he continues skating on a scoring line with proficient playmakers Adam Henrique and Rickard Rakell.
