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.

Rittich will be in the crease for Sunday's road game versus Seattle, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Rittich will get the starting nod in Chicago on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich yielded four goals on 26 shots in a loss against Columbus on Dec. 2. The 30-year-old is now 3-2-0 with a pedestrian 3.07 GAA and .881 save percentage. He'll continue to get little work as Connor Hellebuyck's primary backup.

Rittich gave up four goals on 26 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich gave up a pair of goals in each of the first two periods, and the Jets never bounced back. He had won his last three starts and is now at 3-2-0 with 15 goals allowed on 26 shots this season. With Connor Hellebuyck playing well as the primary goalie, Rittich's chances to play are likely to remain infrequent.

Rittich will be between the home pipes against Columbus on Friday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has won his last three starts, giving up seven goals on 69 shots as he has not seen a lot of action in the last five weeks. He is 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and an .890 save percentage in his first season with the Jets. He will face the Blue Jackets, who have scored only 60 goals in 21 games this season, but get back Patrik Laine from an ankle injury which sidelined him the last seven games.

Rittich stopped 26 of 29 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was gifted a 3-0 lead before Carolina rallied for three goals in the final five minutes to force overtime. However, Josh Morrissey was able to net the winner in OT and preserve a win for Rittich. The 30-year-old netminder is now 3-1-0 with a .891 save percentage in limited action backing up Connor Hellebuyck.

Rittich is set to defend the cage at home versus Carolina on Monday, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.

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.
