Rittich was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports, indicating he will defend the road net Monday against Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich is coming off a 22-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over Anaheim. He also earned a 26-save shutout victory against the Oilers on Feb. 10. Over 17 appearances this campaign, Rittich has compiled a 9-3-3 record with a 2.21 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Edmonton sits fifth in the league this season with 3.55 goals per game.

Rittich stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich stopped all of the Ducks' even-strength shots, as both of his goals allowed were on special teams -- one shorthanded and the other on the power play. The Kings' stout defense allowed only 13 shots in the final two frames and none in the extra period. This was Rittich's fifth win in his past seven games dating back to Jan. 31. Rittich is a risky but potentially rewarding fantasy netminder who works best as a streaming option against weaker opponents.

Rittich will guard the home net Saturday versus Anaheim, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It'll be the second straight start for Rittich after he allowed two goals on 19 shots in a loss to Nashville. The 31-year-old netminder is 8-3-3 on the season with a .918 save percentage and a 2.24 GAA. The Ducks are averaging 2.61 goals per game, the fourth-lowest mark in the league.

Rittich stopped 17 of 19 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

EDGE Analysis

It was a close game for most of the time until Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon stretched the lead with empty-netters in the third period. Rittich has won four of his last six outings, but his performance has been all over the place in that stretch. He's at 8-3-3 with a 2.24 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 16 appearances. With Cam Talbot improving in recent games, Rittich may soon find himself in a split for playing time.

Rittich is slated to start at home versus Nashville on Thursday, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has an 8-2-3 record, 2.25 GAA and .919 save percentage in 15 outings in 2023-24. He has won four of his last five contests while stopping 132 of 144 shots (.917 save percentage). Nashville is a decent 15-10-2 on the road, so the Predators might be a somewhat challenging opponent for Rittich.

Rittich made 28 saves in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Boston grabbed a 3-1 lead midway through the second period, but Rittich buckled down and gave his squad a chance to mount a comeback on the road. The 31-year-old netminder has won four of his last five starts, and since being called up in mid-December to replace Pheonix Copley (knee), Rittich sports a 2.25 GAA and .919 save percentage over 15 outings.

Rittich will defend the road net Saturday versus Boston, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich is coming off a 26-save performance in Thursday's 2-1 win over New Jersey. He has provided a 7-2-3 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.12 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 14 appearances. The Bruins sit 11th in the league this season with 3.31 goals per game.

Rittich made 26 saves in Thursday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

A Tyler Toffoli power-play tally in the second period accounted for all the damage against Rittich on the night. The veteran netminder bounced back in impressive fashion from his worst start of the season, and over his last 10 outings, Rittich is 5-2-2 with a 2.35 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Rittich led the Kings onto the ice, indicating he'll start on the road versus the Devils on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich stumbled versus the Sabres on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 17 shots over two periods. He'll try to get back on track Thursday, but the Devils are an even tougher challenge. They've scored 18 goals while going 3-2-1 over their last six games, so Rittich could have a tough time bouncing back.

Rittich stopped 12 of 17 shots before being replaced by Cam Talbot to begin the third period of Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Neither goalie carries too much blame for the final result, as the Kings showed little jump from the opening faceoff. Rittich was coming off a shutout of the Oilers, so his hold on the starting job likely isn't in much jeopardy -- over the last month, the 31-year-old netminder sports a 4-2-2 record in 10 appearances with a 2.43 GAA and .917 save percentage.
