Rittich is set to get the starting nod on the road against Nashville on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has managed just one win in his last five outings, posting a 1-1-2 record, 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage. If the Czech backstop can't start putting together some wins, he could find himself watching from the bench again behind Cam Talbot as the Kings try to avoid falling too far behind in the Pacific Division playoff race.

Rittich made 28 saves in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

After a scoreless third period, Rittich got beat glove-side by Brayden Schenn on a rush a little over a minute into OT. It's the first time since his mid-December return to the NHL that the 31-year-old netminder has given up more than three goals in a game, and in 10 outings with the Kings, Rittich has a 4-1-3 record with a 2.09 GAA and .920 save percentage.

Rittich will guard the road goal Sunday against the Blues, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich made 24 saves on 27 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose on Monday in his last start. Through nine appearances this campaign, he has posted a 4-1-2 record with a 1.86 GAA and a .927 save percentage. St. Louis ranks 25th in the league with 2.87 goals per game this season.

Rittich stopped 17 of 19 shots in relief of Cam Talbot in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich played the final two periods, though the Avalanche didn't push as hard after building up a sizeable lead. Rittich has given up 10 goals over his last five outings, going 2-1-1 in that span while carving out a larger role during Talbot's 10-game (0-7-3) skid. For the year, Rittich has a 4-1-2 record with a 1.86 GAA and a .927 save percentage over nine appearances. He's likely not the long-term answer in goal for the Kings, but he's done well enough lately to take over the No. 1 role.

Rittich turned aside 24 of 27 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was beaten on shootout attempts by Logan Couture and Fabian Zetterlund, which cost the Kings the extra point. The 31-year-old netminder had been doing well leading up to this game, saving 86 of 91 shots (.945 save percentage) over his previous four contests. Even after this setback, Rittich's 4-1-2 record, 1.76 GAA and .931 save percentage across eight contests overall makes him a strong option for LA, especially with Cam Talbot struggling with a 4.20 GAA and an .874 save percentage over his last five appearances.

Rittich will start at home versus the Sharks on Monday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

EDGE Analysis

It'll be the third consecutive start for Rittich, who's gone 2-1-0 while allowing just five goals on 88 shots in his previous three outings. The 31-year-old netminder has certainly earned the opportunity for more work in LA, especially with Cam Talbot struggling of late. Rittich will face a Sharks team that's averaging a league-worst 2.04 goals per game.

Rittich stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old netminder is 3-1-1 with a .934 save percentage and a 1.69 GAA this season, and he appears lined up for more playing time with Cam Talbot struggling of late. Rittich will face a Rangers team that's averaging 3.25 goals per game.

Rittich allowed two goals on 33 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was solid for the most part Thursday, holding Nashville to a pair of goals in the second period, but the Kings could only muster a single tally against Juuse Saros in the 2-1 defeat. Despite the loss, Rittich has looked good in his last two outings, allowing just four goals on 55 shots. The 31-year-old netminder could see more work in the short term, with Cam Talbot struggling of late. Overall, Rittich is 3-1-1 with an impressive .934 save percentage and 1.69 GAA through six appearances this season.

Rittich will guard the home goal against Nashville on Thursday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
