Today, it was announced that he would be getting an eight-game suspension for his actions.
Nick Ritchie has been suspended eight games by Liiga for punching a defenceless opponent in the head multiple times.
Ritchie was originally the 10th overall pick from the 2014 NHL draft by the Anaheim Ducks. He has been a journeyman for the majority of his career playing with Anaheim, Boston, Toronto, Arizona, and Calgary.
He was most recently on a PTO with the St. Louis Blues but did not receive a contract resulting in him going overseas to play in Finland.
