After last night's game he's 2nd on the team for xGF% behind Matthew Tkachuk, and first in xGA60.
Fans scream to waive him and dump on the guy, but when you have a nothing bad happens mantra to your game you can see why Sutter walks him out more often than fans would like.

I think Sutter would respond to the criticism of Ritchie by saying that the Flames are a checking team, and he is a good checker.
I thought that whole line was really good on the forecheck last night.
