Calum Ritchie - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Placed on non-roster list Ritchie (lower body) was placed on the non-roster injured list Monday.

Impact Ritchie sustained a lower-body injury during Thursday's preseason game against the Flyers, and the Islanders previously announced that he was expected to miss 1-2 weeks. He was on the roster bubble ahead of the regular season, but his placement on the non-roster injured list suggests that he'll head to AHL Bridgeport once he's back to full health.

Set to miss 1-2 weeks The Islanders announced Friday that Ritchie (lower body) is expected to miss 1-2 weeks.

Impact Ritchie exited Thursday's preseason game against the Flyers due to his lower-body injury, and he'll miss some time ahead of the regular season. He made just seven regular-season appearances in the NHL last year and was on the roster bubble ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. His injury could impact his chances of opening the regular season with the Islanders, but if he winds up in the minors, he'll likely be among the first candidates to be called up this year.

Hurt in Thursday's game Ritchie (lower body) didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Flyers and will undergo further evaluation when the Islanders return home.

Impact Ritchie is right on the roster bubble after a strong preseason, but the injury looms large over his chances of making the roster. The 20-year-old center will have a week to heal up prior to next Thursday's Opening Night road game versus the Penguins.

Impact Ritchie is a high-end prospect who has lit up the OHL for 67 points in 41 contests with Oshawa after getting his first taste of NHL action with a goal in seven games to begin this season. The 20-year-old also had two points with Team Canada at the World Junior Championship. The Avalanche may eventually regret letting Ritchie go, but not if Nelson brings them another championship. As for the Islanders, they get a prospect who is pretty close to being ready to contribute at the NHL level. The chances of Ritchie getting another NHL look in 2024-25 are pretty slim with the Generals going to the OHL playoffs, but he could be a factor in 2025-26, perhaps taking Nelson's old spot on the second line.

Avalanche acquire Brock Nelson from the Islanders on the eve of the NHL trade deadline

Steps up in OHL Ritchie is having a strong campaign with OHL Oshawa, supplying 14 goals and 59 points through 32 outings.

Impact The Avalanche began the 2024-25 campaign dealing with more than their fair share of injuries, in addition to missing Valeri Nichushkin (suspension), which gave Ritchie an opportunity to start the season with the NHL squad. However, Ritchie failed to impress over a seven-game stint, recording one goal, no assists, a minus-7 rating and 11 shots. He logged 16:05 of ice time in his NHL debut and steadily saw his playing time decline from there to a low of 7:14 in his final game with Colorado on Oct. 22. The Avalanche returned him to Oshawa as a result, where he's done far better. While Ritchie's first stint with the Avalanche didn't impress, the 20-year-old has the potential to develop into a solid forward for Colorado. The Avalanche selected him with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

Shipped back to junior team Ritchie was reassigned to OHL Oshawa on Wednesday.

Impact Ritchie scored a goal on 11 shots and added six hits over his first seven NHL games, but he also carried a minus-7 rating and saw his ice time slip in recent games. The 19-year-old forward remains one of the Avalanche's top prospects, but he can play in a maximum of two more NHL games without burning a year of his entry-level deal this season. As such, Ritchie is expected to spend the rest of the campaign in the junior ranks, including potentially representing Team Canada at the World Junior Championship this winter.

Scores first career goal Monday Ritchie scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Ritchie opened the scoring and notched the first goal of his career at the NHL level just 61 seconds into the game Monday, as the 19-year-old winger took advantage of a perfect set-up from John Manson to tap the puck home from very close range. This was his first point of the season.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inks entry-level deal Ritchie signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Colorado on Monday.

Impact Ritchie produced 28 goals and 80 points across 50 regular-season appearances with OHL Oshawa in 2023-24. He also earned eight tallies and 22 assists in 21 playoff contests. The Avalanche chose Ritchie with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 19-year-old forward will probably be back with the Generals for the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign.
