Ritchie posted three assists in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Coyotes on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was not only Ritchie's first three-point night of the season but just his second multi-point affair. Ritchie doesn't have a goal this month, but he does have seven assists to go with 18 PIM in 12 games. Through 25 games this season, the 23-year-old sits just five helpers shy of tying a career high in the category. He has four goals and 16 points with 24 PIM in 25 games.

Ritchie scored two goals in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks were down 2-1 midway through the second period when Ritchie got to work, tying the score later in the second before potting the winner with only 88 seconds left in regulation. The 22-year-old has been lighting it up since recovering from an upper-body injury, scoring four goals and eight points in his last seven games.

Ritchie notched a goal and an assist Tuesday, helping his team to a 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie seems to be back to full strength after an upper body injury and has quietly scored in five of his past six games. Given his track record of about 28 points a season, Ritchie is only worth monitoring in season-long leagues at this point, but if you're in a deeper league, it might be worth stashing him on your bench and seeing if this stretch is real.

Ritchie (upper body) went minus-2 with five hits in Friday's 5-1 home loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Upon his return from a six-game injury layoff, Ritchie was not bashful in asserting his physical will on the opposition. However, it's disappointing that he went minus-2 and only managed one shot over 15:08 of ice time in the loss.

Ritchie was placed in IR on Wednesday, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough season for Ritchie. He missed the beginning of the season, returned for two games, and then got hurt again. The 22-year-old has missed the last two contests for the Ducks, and now that he's on injured reserve he's likely to miss at least a couple more. At least Anaheim is accustomed to playing without him.

Ritchie (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Flyers, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie will miss his second straight game and will allow Ben Street to re-enter the fold. His next chance to enter the lineup will be Thursday against the Rangers.

Ritchie (upper body) is questionable to play in Tuesday's clash with Philadelphia, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After holding out to start the season, Ritchie played a mere two games before getting injured and missing Saturday's matchup with San Jose. If the winger is unable to play Tuesday, Joseph Blandisi figures to continue serving in a fourth-line role.

Ritchie (upper body) is listed as an injured scratch for Sunday's home game against the Sharks, according to the NHL.com roster report.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Ritchie's first absence of the season, not including the nine games he missed due to a contract holdout. Consider him day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Flyers.

Ritchie sustained an upper-body injury during Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Randy Carlyle wasn't able to provide any further details on Ritchie's status following Thursday's defeat, but another update on the 22-year-old winger's condition should surface ahead of Sunday's matchup with San Jose.

Ritchie signed a three-year contract with the Ducks on Wednesday. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports that the deal will net him $1.533 million annually.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie missed the beginning of the season with the contract situation still unresolved, but it appears he and the Ducks have put that issue to bed. While he's not in the lineup Wednesday, there's a good chance the 22-year-old winger will be back in action Saturday against the Golden Knights.
