Ritchie (lower body) wasn't on the ice for warmups and won't play against the Islanders on Wednesday, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie will miss his third straight game Wednesday after suffering a lower-body injury in the season opener against the Coyotes. He seems to be a game-time decision ahead of each contest, so that's a good sign that his return is nearing. The 21-year-old winger will have his next chance to play Friday in Colorado.

Ritchie (lower body) did not suit up for Monday's game against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The injury Ritchie suffered against Arizona in the season opener is evidently seriously enough to hold him out for a second game, so Giovanni Fiore will remain in the lineup for at least one more contest. Ritchie's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday at home against the Islanders.

Ritchie (lower body) may be available against the Flames on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie -- who missed Saturday's meeting with Philadelphia -- figures to be a game-time decision after coach Randy Carlyle didn't rule him out. In his first full season, the 21-year-old notched 14 goals, 14 helpers and 149 shots on goal -- combining a decent scoring touch with his physical style of play. The winger's return to the ice would likely come at the expense of Giovanni Fiore.

Ritchie (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Flyers, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie battled illness throughout the preseason, but he was able to play in the Ducks' opener against the Coyotes on Thursday. His performance in that game was limited to 11:59 of ice time, logging three hits and a blocked shot. He'll be replaced by Giovanni Fiore for the time being, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Monday against the Flames.

RItchie (illness) took part in Sunday's practice, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

It never seemed as though Ritchie was in danger of missing any regular season action, but his return to practice confirms that assumption. The 2016-17 campaign was Ritchie's first as an NHL full-timer and he recorded 14 goals and 28 points in 77 games. A first-round pick in 2014, Ritchie has the talent to double his season-long production in 2017-18, especially if he's to play on Ryan Getzlaf's left wing as he's currently projected to do.

Ritchie missed Friday's practice due to an illness, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's been no indication that Ritchie is dealing with anything serious, so at this point it's safe to assume he'll be fully healthy for the Ducks' regular-season opener Oct. 5 against Arizona. The 21-year-old winger, who notched 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) in 78 games last campaign, is expected to begin the 2017-18 season skating in a top-six role.

Ritchie netted the game-winning goal against the Predators in Game 2 on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie has come through in the clutch this postseason, also burying the winner in Game 7 against Edmonton. The youngster is a punishing power forward who has a very bright future in Anaheim. He's locked into a bottom-six role right now, but his high PIM totals and lethal shooting ability will make him a fantasy favorite in the coming years.

Ritchie scored the game-winning goal against the Oilers during Wednesday's Game 7 win.

EDGE Analysis

While this was a huge goal for the 21-year-old winger, the momentum has been building for a couple games. Through the final three outings of the series, Ritchie registered 11 shots, 19 PIM and 10 hits while averaging 15:11 of ice time. He's locked into a secondary role with Anaheim right now, but there is a bright fantasy future because of his ability to generate shots and willingness to the throw body checks.

Ritchie (illness) skated line rushes during warmups prior to Sunday's Game 3 in Edmonton, clearing the way for him to return after a one-game absence, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie took rushes on Anaheim's third line with Antoine Vermette and Corey Perry making up the rest of the line. Ritchie has been relatively quiet this playoffs with just a goal and four shots on goal in four contests thus far, so he'll look to ratchet up his play for a pivotal Game 3.

Ritchie (illness) was on the ice for Sunday's morning skate prior to the evening's Game 3 against Edmonton, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie was scratched just prior to Game 2 due to the flu, but it appears he's in much better shape ahead of a crucial Game 3 on Sunday. The Ducks trail the series 2-0 after the two tilts in Anaheim, meaning they will need to win at least one of the next two contests in Edmonton to have another game at home in the series. Ritchie should provide some reinforcements up front, collecting 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) over 77 games during the regular season and an additional tally in his four playoff games.
