Rittich turned aside 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, and Rittich made made sure the Sens were never able to make the game close. The netminder has been erratic while appearing in seven straight games due to Jakob Markstrom's upper-body injury, and on the season Rittich is now 2-4-1 with a 2.77 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Rittich will guard the road net in Saturday's game versus the Senators, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was phenomenal in the split series against Toronto, letting up just two goals on 73 shots. However, he faltered in Thursday's loss to the Senators, giving up four goals on 20 shots before being yanked. The 28-year-old will get a chance to bounce back Saturday in a rematch versus the Sens, who have now won three straight.

Rittich allowed four goals on 20 shots before being pulled from the game in Thursday's 6-1 loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was pulled in favor of newcomer Artyom Zagidulin after an Erik Brannstrom shot from well outside the Calgary blue line somehow eluded him, extending Ottawa's lead to 4-1 at 7:24 of the second period. Rittich's dud came on the heels of back-to-back standout efforts against the high-powered Maple Leafs in which he stopped 71 of 73 shots. Rittich may have been out of gas after starting his third game in four nights in place of injured starter Jacob Markstrom (upper body). He'll get a chance to right the ship with two more tilts versus Ottawa on Saturday and Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was sharp in his last start Wednesday against Toronto, turning aside 37 of 39 shots, but he ultimately suffered his fourth loss of the season due to lackluster goal support from his teammates. The 28-year-old backstop will attempt to get back in the win column in a road matchup with an Ottawa team that's 3-5-1 at home this year.

Rittich registered a season-best 37 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich appeared poised to record a shutout victory until Toronto's William Nylander tied the game with 1:28 left in regulation. Nylander followed up with the overtime winner just 66 seconds into the extra session. It was the sixth loss in seven appearances this season for Rittich, but the 28-year-old has been terrific in his two starts since Jacob Markstrom (upper body) went down with an injury, stopping 71 of 73 shots against the high-powered Maple Leafs.

Rittich is expected to start Wednesday's game against Toronto, Derek Wills of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacob Markstrom (upper body) is slated to miss a second consecutive game, but the Flames' net will be in good hands with Rittich, who set aside all 34 shots to beat the Maple Leafs on Monday. That strong effort marked Rittich's first win of the season, though his underlying numbers are strong -- Rittich sports a 2.36 GAA and .909 save percentage in six appearances (four starts).

Rittich made a season-high 34 stops in Monday's 3-0 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

That was a badly-needed performance for the struggling Rittich -- and for the Flames, for that matter -- with Jacob Markstrom (upper body) being announced as a late scratch Monday. Rittich carried an ugly .874 save percentage into the contest, yet he was able to completely silence the NHL's highest-scoring team for his first win of the season. His playing time going forward will depend almost entirely on the health status of Markstrom.

Rittich will patrol the crease in Toronto on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacob Markstrom was a late scratch Monday with an upper-body issue, so Rittich will get the starting nod. The 28-year-old currently owns a .874 save percentage and 3.00 GAA and is still searching for his first win of the season. He'll face a tough test against the highest-scoring offense in the NHL.

Rittich allowed two goals on nine shots in relief of Jacob Markstrom in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

This game was lost well before Rittich took over in the visiting crease. He's drawn into the last three games, but he's only started one of them. Rittich has given up 11 goals on 87 shots this year in just five appearances (three starts). The Flames' goaltending is a bit of a mess right now, but Rittich isn't likely to unseat Markstrom for the bulk of the starting duties.

Rittich allowed two goals on 25 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich wasn't bad Friday, and an unlucky bounce on Gaetan Haas' goal was the difference. The Flames have provided just five goals of support for Rittich in his three starts -- while it's a small sample size, he has yet to get much scoring help from his team. He's 0-3-0 with nine goals allowed on 78 shots in four outings (three starts) this season. Expect Jacob Markstrom in goal for Saturday's rematch in Edmonton.
