Ritchie was suspended one game for slashing Kevin Shattenkirk in Friday's game versus the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
The Coyotes didn't take kindly to getting shut out 5-0, and Ritchie's actions were deemed to have crossed the line. He'll miss Sunday's game versus the Blackhawks, but he should be back in the lineup Monday versus the Blues. Given the Coyotes' injury situation, they may recall a forward before Sunday's contest.

EDGE Analysis
Ritchie didn't have a point during Arizona's eight-goal outburst Saturday, but he got in on the fun three days later. He broke a 1-1 tie 8:15 into the game, as the scoring was just getting started. Ritchie added a goal and an assist in the second, taking full advantage of Thomas Greiss' brief, ineffective cameo before Detroit went back to starter Alex Nedeljkovic in net. The power forward has three goals and two assists in five games with the Coyotes since being traded over from Toronto.

EDGE Analysis
Ritchie had a quiet Coyotes debut Friday, but he broke out in his second game with the team. After assisting on Barrett Hayton's game-tying goal late in the opening frame, Ritchie gave the Coyotes a 3-2 lead in the second period.

Ritchie (immigration issues) will make his Coyotes debut Friday against visiting Vegas, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie was forced to miss three games after being traded from Toronto on Feb. 19, primarily due to issues relating to a U.S. work permit. He's ready now, though, and will skate on a bottom-six line with veteran Loui Eriksson and Barrett Hayton looking to add to his total of two goals and nine points this season.
