Ducks' Ritchie ejected from Game 6 after boarding Arvidsson
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA Today Sports
The Anaheim Ducks' early two-goal deficit to the Nashville Predators in Game 6 was quickly made worse when forward Nick Ritchie was given a five minute major and a game misconduct for boarding Viktor Arvidsson.
Here's the play:
Already missing Rickard Rakell due to injury, losing Ritchie is a tough blow to the Ducks' offensive depth.
Arvidsson was bloodied, but looks to have avoided serious injury. Amazingly, the letter "R" was captured on his forehead in some sort of Ritchie-led wizardry.
