Calum Ritchie to Miss 4-6 Weeks With Lower-Body Injury

Islanders center Calum Ritchie will miss four to six weeks after suffering a lower-body injury Saturday night in Toronto. The timeline means he could return when the team is in Winnipeg a month from now. The injury is a significant blow to the Islanders, who are now down half of their preseason projected top six forwards early in the season. Mitchell Chaffee was called up on an emergency basis to help bolster the depleted roster during this stretch.
