The rookie was expected to compete for power play time and a lower line role in Dallas, but this injury will keep him sidelined until at least December.
With less than two weeks to go before the start of training camp, the Dallas Stars have announced they will be missing one of their rising prospects for much of the first half of the season.
Brett Ritchie, who bounced around the lineup at right wing last year, underwent surgery to repair a ligament in his wrist and will be out 3-4 months, putting his return sometime in December or January.
