On Sunday night, New York Islanders prospect Cal Ritchie and the Oshawa Generals defeated the Brantford Bullodgs 4-1 in Game Six to advance to the OHL's Eastern Conference Final.
Ritchie and the Generals dropped the first two games of the series, before winning four straight to advance.
After collecting nine points (one goal, eight assists) in their opening round six-game series against the Brampton Steelheads, Ritchie recorded six points (three goals, three assists) in six games against Brantford.
He recorded at least one point in the final five games of the series and has points in 11 of 12 playoff games thus far with 15 points (four goals, 11 assists).
The Islanders acquired Ritchie, Oliver Kylington, a first-round pick in 2026 or 2027, and a conditional third-round pick in 2028 from the Colorado Avalance for Brock Nelson, and William Dufour on March 6.
Ritchie is expected to make the Islanders out of training camp and serve as either the No. 2 or No. 3 centerman. `
