The Ducks have reassigned left wing Nick Ritchie to the San Diego Gulls, Anaheim’s primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Ritchie, 20 (12/5/95), collected 1-1=2 points with 37 penalty minutes (PIM) in 31 games for the Ducks this season. The 6-2, 232-pound winger scored his first career NHL goal in a 7-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Mar. 14 at Honda Center. Earning his first recall from San Diego on Nov. 14, Ritchie became the 11th-youngest player to make his NHL debut with Anaheim at 19 years, 11 months and 11 days on Nov.
