Ritchie scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

All four of Ritchie's goals this season have come on the power play, though he hadn't scored in his five contests. The 26-year-old winger has added a pair of assists, 12 shots on net, 19 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-6 rating in nine games. He began the year in a top-six role, but he's slipped back to a more familiar bottom-six spot since his early-season surge ended.

Ritchie recorded an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie set up a Zack Kassian goal in the first period. After recording no points in the previous two games, Ritchie was bumped down to a bottom-six assignment Tuesday. His helper was his first even-strength point of the year. He's at three goals, two assists, 10 shots on net, 12 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating through six contests, but his fantasy value will be directly correlated to his success on the power play, which has been a surprising strength for the Coyotes early on.

Ritchie scored a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old lasted less than a season with Toronto before he was dealt to Arizona in February, but Ritchie returned for some revenge early in the new campaign. He's off to a hot start for the Coyotes with three goals and four points through three games, and all of his production has come with the man advantage. Ritchie's never scored more than 15 goals and 31 points in an NHL season, but if he keeps his spot on the first power-play unit, his current fantasy value may not be a mirage.

Ritchie on Thursday scored both of the Coyotes' goals during a 6-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie, who is attempting to settle in with the Coyotes, scored twice Thursday and produced three shots on goal. He just couldn't do it all. The 2014 first-round draft pick joined the Coyotes midway through last season and collected 10 goals in 24 games. Ritchie is expected to lead the Coyotes through the rebuilding season. Down 3-0 and outshot 29-11 midway through the second period Thursday, the Coyotes captured the momentum and generated seven consecutive shots, capped by Ritchie's first goal of the season.

Ritchie (upper body) played in Saturday's preseason game versus the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie ended last season with an upper-body injury, but he was back in action Saturday. The 26-year-old winger figures to play a middle-six role for the Coyotes in 2022-23, though his physical playing style has often caused him to sit out with injuries throughout his career.

Ritchie (upper body) missed the last six games of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie's roller-coaster year began in Toronto, where he posted just nine points in 33 contests in a limited role. He bounced to and from the Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate before he was traded to the Coyotes in February. The results were much better with his new team -- 10 goals and four assists in 24 games -- as he saw top-six minutes before suffering the injury. The 26-year-old winger is likely not as bad as he was in Toronto nor as good as the early returns in Arizona would indicate. He's under contract for another season and could see a noticeable role with the Coyotes again as they continue through their rebuild, though any prolonged slump could see him sit out in favor of younger prospects.

Ritchie (upper body) was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie was listed on the initial lineup sheet, but he was a late scratch and replaced by Michael Carcone for this contest. The Coyotes designated Ritchie as day-to-day going forward. They now have only 11 healthy forwards on the roster unless one is cleared to play prior to Friday's game versus the Capitals.

Ritchie recorded a goal and four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

That's now goals in back-to-back games for Ritchie. In 24 games with Arizona, the 26-year-old winger now has 10 goals and four assists after recording only nine points in 33 games with Toronto. While the change of scenery has granted Ritchie more offensive opportunities, it'll be hard to expect consistent point production in a bottom-six role.

Ritchie scored a goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 9-1 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie beat Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom just 30 seconds into the game, but that was the extent of the Coyotes' offense. The 26-year-old winger has a goal, two helpers, nine shots and 16 hits in his last six outings. For the season, he's up to 11 tallies, 22 points, 91 shots, 149 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 56 appearances between the Coyotes and the Maple Leafs.

Ritchie notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Ritchie helped out on Travis Boyd's opening tally just 1:13 into the game. The 26-year-old Ritchie has two assists in his last four games, though he's seen a boost up to a top-line role since Clayton Keller (leg) was ruled out for the remainder of the season. Ritchie's at 21 points, 89 shots on net, 143 hits and a minus-8 rating in 54 games between the Coyotes and the Maple Leafs this season.
