Ritchie managed an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie had the secondary assist on Jacob Larsson's first NHL goal at 1:52 of the second period. Ritchie has provided decent depth scoring with eight points in 15 appearances. His physicality (24 PIM, 27 hits) and first-unit power-play time could make him worth a roster spot in deeper fantasy formats.

Ritchie scored a power-play goal on three shots and had two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie sent the game into overtime with his goal 6:17 into the second period. It was just his second goal of the year and first in nearly a month, snapping an 11-game slump. He does have points in four of his last six games, but you can look elsewhere for offensive help.

Ritchie registered an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie showed continued chemistry with his new linemates, relaying a pass to Maxime Comtois, who then set up Ryan Getzlaf for the tally. Ritchie now has six points and 21 hits through 11 appearances, and his current top-line usage could make the physical winger worth a look in deeper formats.

Ritchie produced an assist, two PIM, two shots on goal and a pair of hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Newly promoted to the top line, Ritchie found linemate Maxime Comtois for an insurance tally in the third period. Ritchie is up to five points, 19 shots on goal, and 22 PIM in 10 games this season. He'll see a bump in value while skating alongside Ryan Getzlaf, but the 23-year-old winger is likely to be shuffled all over the lineup throughout the campaign.

Ritchie picked up an assist and tacked on five hits in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The physical winger had the puck pinned against the board behind the net before sliding a backhand pass to Ondrej Kase, who buried it for the only Ducks goal of the game. Ritchie was showing off the skill that got him drafted 10th overall in 2014. He had a career-high 31 points last season, and figures to factor in the offense more this year as he holds a spot on the first power-play unit.

Ritchie received four minor penalties and a misconduct in the third period of Friday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie became a familiar face in the sin bin in the Ducks' final game, and then his role in a kerfuffle at the end of the game put his count at 18 PIM. Ritchie had a career year with 31 points in 60 games, and also set a new personal high with 82 PIM after Friday's festivities.

Ritchie (upper body) posted three shots and two PIM in his return to action in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The physical winger missed four games with the injury. Ritchie remains at 31 points in 58 games with 122 hits, 64 PIM and 95 shots on goal this year. He could make for a decent DFS option should he remain in the lineup Friday in the Ducks' season finale versus the Kings.

Ritchie (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against Calgary, NHL.com's Dan Arritt reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie, who's notched nine goals and 31 points in 58 games this campaign, is expected to skate on the Ducks' third line during Wednesday's contest.

Ritchie (upper body) should be cleared soon, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ritchie didn't join the team in Vancouver for Tuesday's game and there's no word on him surfacing in Calgary, so it's best to consider him doubtful for those contests unless something suggests he's with the squad. While he's expected back relatively soon, Ritchie's opportunities to return are running thin. If he misses the two games in Canada, the winger has just two home games Wednesday and Friday before the 2018-19 campaign concludes.

Ritchie (upper body) didn't travel to Vancouver for Tuesday's game against the Canucks, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It isn't clear if Ritchie might be a candidate to rejoin the Ducks at some point during their current three-game road trip, but he'll miss Tuesday's contest at a minimum. Kiefer Sherwood will continue to hold onto a spot in the lineup until Ritchie is cleared to play.
