Just now, TSN insider Chris Johnston revealed what Ritchie's punishment would be.
Nick Ritchie has been suspended eight games by Liiga for punching a defenceless opponent in the head multiple times.
Some may argue that an eight-game suspension is too much while others may argue that it is too little but it is certainly warranted.
Ritchie has played in 481 career NHL games scoring 84 goals and 186 points. He began his career with the Ducks and played with them, the Bruins, the Coyotes, The Maple Leafs, and the Flames.
NHL teams may take note of this and blackball him from the league for his dirty actions.
