Ritchie has been held to just two goals through nine January games.
EDGE Analysis
The promising youngster failed to cash in on an early-season gig with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, and Ritchie is now playing in the bottom six and receiving rare power-play looks. His 155 hits rank third in the league, though, so the 21-year-old winger isn't a complete afterthought. Still, outside of leagues including body checks, Ritchie isn't a strong fantasy option.

Ritchie scored his eight goal of the season and threw six body checks during Monday's win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie didn't capitalize on his opportunity to skate with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry early in the season, and he played just 10:00 against Toronto on Monday. Outside of deep leagues that credit hits, Ritchie has extremely limited fantasy value. His eight goals and 12 points don't move the offensive needle.

Ritchie collected two even-strength assists with a shot on goal and three hits during Friday's win over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie is quietly having a solid season for Anaheim with six goals, 10 points, 53 shots and 81 hits over 26 games. The offensive numbers don't move the needle, but in deep formats including hits, Ritchie could prove serviceable. Additionally, he is worth keeping tabs on because a mid- or late-season surge isn't out of the question for the emerging power forward.

Ritchie scored a goal with three shots on net, two blocked shots and three hits over 15:28 of ice time during a loss to the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This was an excellent multi-category showing from Ritchie, and it highlighted his fantasy upside for deeper settings. He has also been receiving consistent top-line looks with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, which is a cushy fantasy gig. Ritchie checks out as a potential add in seasonal leagues and an upside source of cap relief for daily contests.

Ritchie (upper body) took lines rushes in advance of Sunday's game against the Flames and appears set to play, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie skated with Ryan Getzlaf (upper body) and fellow top-liner Corey Perry in advance of the contest with Calgary, so he should be good to go after being listed as a game-time decision at Sunday's morning skate. Despite his cushy role with studs Perry and Getzlaf, Ritchie hasn't done much this season, posting just three points in 10 games thus far.

Ritchie (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
After leaving Tuesday's game and missing games Wednesday and Friday, it's clear Ritchie was dealing with something serious. He has been a moderately valuable fantasy player, so owners should keep their eyes peeled as it gets closer to puck drop.

Ritchie (upper body) was able to practice Saturday, Ducks radio analyst Dan Wood reports.
EDGE Analysis
This bodes well for Ritchie's chances of drawing in against the Flames on Sunday. The physical winger has been inconsistent with his production on the attack, scoring three points in 10 games, but Ritchie does have 41 hits on the season. His official status for the upcoming contest is likely to be determined on game day Sunday.

Ritchie (upper body) won't play Friday against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The youngster got off to a decent start this year, with an assist and two goals in ten games. His injury forced him out on Wednesday, and considering he will miss Friday as well, it could be a bit more serious than previously imagined.

Ritchie is still being assessed for an undisclosed injury after exiting Tuesday's meeting with Los Angeles early.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie was having a relatively productive season compared to his abbreviated 2015-16 campaign in which he logged four points in just 33 outings prior to this injury. The winger probably won't suit up against the Penguins on Wednesday considering he remains under evaluation. Fantasy owners should look for an update on the 20-year-old's status prior to Friday's game versus Arizona.

Ritchie scored the game-winning goal Sunday against Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie skated on the top line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry and logged 16:02 of ice time. The 20-year-old was a 39-goal-scorer in the OHL and could be worth looking at in some deeper leagues if he sticks on Anaheim's top line. Ritchie also dished out four hits Sunday and is a big-bodied forward who will also helper fantasy owners out with his PIM and hit total.
