After the Edmonton Oilers opened the scoring in the first period, the Ducks put their foot on the gas, outshooting the Oilers 16-3 in the second period, ultimately knotting the game at 1-1 on a goal by Andrew Cogliano.
The Ducks hadn't won a Game 7 since 2006 against the Calgary Flames - until Wednesday night.
Ritchie's goal ended up the game and series winner, and the Ducks are off to the Western Conference Final against the Nashville Predators.
