Ritchie (undisclosed) is expected to return to action for Tuesday's game against the Canadiens, Mark Stepneski of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Ritchie was forced to miss some time with an undisclosed injury that landed him on the injured reserve, but after some time off with the All-Star break he's good to go. The 21-year-old has four points through eight contests, and will play for the first time since Jan. 15. He'll likely be officially activated from IR after the Stars conduct their morning skate Tuesday.
