Nick Ritchie was traded by the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday for forward Ryan Dzingel and defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin.
Arizona also receives a conditional second-round pick in the NHL Draft.
“We are excited to have Nick join our roster,” Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong said. “He is a big (6-foot-3, 236 pounds), tough, strong winger who will add depth and physicality to our forward group.”

Ritchie scored nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 33 games with the Maple Leafs this season.
Dzingel, a forward, scored seven points (four goals, three assists) in 26 games, and Lyubushkin had nine assists in 46 games with the Coyotes this season.
Arizona can choose to acquire Toronto’s third-round selection in the 2023 NHL Draft or its second-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft.
