With Connor Hellebuyck playing well as the primary goalie, Rittich's chances to play are likely to remain infrequent.

He is 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and an .890 save percentage in his first season with the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich will be making just his fourth appearance in the crease this season and figures to be one of the least utilized backups in the NHL this year. The 30-year-old netminder's lack of starts isn't due to his performance but rather Connor Hellebuyck being a workhorse goalie that wants to play as much as possible.

Rittich allowed two goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich didn't get to play with a lead in the contest. The Jets bounced back from a couple of one-goal deficits and Mark Scheifele sealed the win 54 seconds into overtime. Rittich is now 2-1-0 with eight goals allowed in his three appearances so far. Connor Hellebuyck has been excellent as the Jets' primary goalie, so Rittich will likely be confined to a backup role with infrequent playing time.
