Rittich made 23 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Capitals on Friday. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
He will go down in history as the guy that allowed the goal that tied Gordie Howe's all-time goal record -- Alex Ovechkin wired a shot from the top of the right circle that found the five hole late in the first period for his 801st NHL goal. The Jets are scuffling a little with three losses in their last four games. Rittich is 1-2-0 in those four games.

Rittich made 35 saves during a 5-1 victory over the visiting Senators on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich, who drew the nod with Connor Hellebuyck suffering from a non-COVID illness, earned consecutive starts for the first time this season. Coming off a 31-save loss to the Kraken on Sunday, Rittich rebounded to help the Jets secure their third win in four outings. With the Jets facing back-to-back road games against the Bruins on Thursday and Capitals on Friday, Rittich (5-3-0) could get additional work over emergency backup Arvid Holm if Hellebuyck is unable to dress.

Rittich will patrol the home crease Tuesday against Ottawa, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich is coming off a 31-save effort in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Seattle. He will get a second consecutive start because Connor Hellebuyck (illness) is unavailable. As a result, Arvid Holm will suit up as the backup goalie Tuesday. Rittich has a 4-3-0 record this season with a 2.77 GAA and an .896 save percentage. Ottawa is tied for 17th in the league with 3.13 goals per game this season.

Rittich surrendered three goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich had a 2-1 lead to protect going into the third period, but Ryan Donato's deflected goal 16 seconds into the frame evened the score. Jared McCann added a goal with 4:32 left, and that sent Rittich to his third loss of the year. The 30-year-old is at 4-3-0 with a 2.77 GAA and an .896 save percentage in seven appearances as the infrequently-used backup to Connor Hellebuyck. The Jets are back home for a game versus the Senators on Tuesday, though they head into the holiday break with a road back-to-back versus the Bruins and the Capitals, so Rittich may not have to wait too long for his next start.
