Rittich turned aside 34 shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

While he was the busier of the two netminders, the final result wasn't in much doubt after the Kings struck three times in each of the first and second periods. Rittich has just one regulation loss since the beginning of February, going 3-1-2 over his last six starts despite a lackluster .891 save percentage.

Rittich is expected to start at home against Carolina on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old has allowed 19 goals over his last six outings while going 2-2-2 in that span, putting him at a 13-12-2 record for the season. He's added a 2.75 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 28 appearances.

Rittich will be between the road pipes Sunday in Las Vegas, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has lost his last three starts, and he has only one win over seven appearances in the new year. The 32-year-old netminder has a 12-12-2 record, .887 save percentage and 2.66 GAA through 27 appearances in 2024-25. The Golden Knights are riding a four-game winning streak and have won seven of their last eight games.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich took his third straight loss, though the previous two had been past regulation time. The 32-year-old netminder has allowed eight goals during his skid, which could prompt the Kings to seek goaltending help ahead of the trade deadline. Rittich is a passable 12-12-2 on the season with a 2.66 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 27 appearances, his most in five years. The Kings wrap up their road trip in Chicago on Monday, which is likely to be a start for Darcy Kuemper, but they host the Blues twice more over the next week (Wednesday and Saturday).

Rittich stopped 14 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a good performance for Rittich, who gave up a goal in each of the first two periods and one more in overtime. He's now lost his last two outings past regulation time and has just one win in his last six games. Rittich is 12-11-2 with a 2.60 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 26 games. Until he can get more positive results, he won't pose much of a threat to Darcy Kuemper's role as the Kings' top goalie. Rittich likely won't have to wait long for his next start -- the Kings have a road back-to-back up next with games in Dallas and St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Rittich is slated to start at home against Vancouver on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Rittich has allowed just seven goals while going 1-1-1 across his last three contests. The 32-year-old is 12-11-1 with a 2.59 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 25 appearances this season, his most games played in any campaign since he saw action in 48 contests in 2019-20 with the Flames.
