Rittich was beaten four times on 31 shots during Sunday's 5-3 home loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich and the Flames trailed 3-0 early but tied the game in the third period only to lose on Shea Theodore's 12th goal of the season. He's now dropped his last three starts, so Cam Talbot could very well get the nod when Calgary plays its next game Thursday against the Islanders.

Rittich will patrol the blue paint for Sunday's home game against Vegas, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

After giving up four goals in each of his last two starts, Rittich has watched from the bench for the last three games. Since the All-Star break, the 27-year-old has registered a subpar 3.56 GAA and .890 save percentage in 11 appearances. In his only outing against Vegas this season, Rittich allowed six goals in an Oct. 12 loss.

Rittich made 29 saves in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old netminder may have lost his focus after Tampa's first two goals both came on deflections while the Flames were short-handed, giving Rittich little chance at either. He wraps up a shaky February having allowed at least four goals in half of his 10 outings, posting a 4-4-1 record with a 3.65 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Rittich will be the starter for Saturday's game versus the Lightning, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his last start, Rittich gave up four goals on 38 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to Nashville. He'll be in tough in this matchup with the Lightning, who sit second in the NHL in goals per game, with 3.50.

Rittich gave up four goals on 38 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

A late goal by Andrew Mangiapane put the Flames ahead, but Rittich leaked a last-second tally to Mikael Granlund to force overtime. In the extra period, Granlund victimized Rittich again, setting the Czech netminder with a defeat. The 27-year-old slipped to 24-15-6 with a 2.92 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 46 starts. He's been solid on the Flames' current road trip -- expect Rittich to split a weekend back-to-back versus the Lightning and Panthers with Cam Talbot.

Rittich will tend the twine Thursday in Nashville versus the Predators, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich started off the five-game road trip strong with a pair of wins in Detroit and Boston, allowing a combined four goals on 57 shots (.930 save percentage). He will continue to work between the pipes Thursday with another tough test on hand versus a contending Predators squad as the Flames aim to hang on to a playoff spot. Nashville enters the night averaging 2.90 goals per game on home ice but sports a minus-4 goal differential.

Rittich turned aside 26 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has been shaky lately, but he put together a strong performance on the road in a tough building Tuesday. Rittich is now 4-3-0 through eight outings in February, but his 3.54 GAA and .887 save percentage on the month are less than ideal.

Rittich will guard the crease on the road against Boston on Tuesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has appeared in just two of the Flames' previous five contests in which he posted a 4.22 GAA and .864 save percentage. With the 27-year-old struggling, the team seems to have turned the crease over to Cam Talbot and may continue to do so heading into the final days of the regular season.

Rittich stopped 27 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was coming off of back-to-back losses in which he'd allowed four goals in each outing. He was solid Sunday against the Red Wings, logging a .931 save percentage and being thwarted only by Detroit's Dylan Larkin, who beat him twice. A tidy stat line against the lowly Wings isn't necessarily a sign of a turnaround, and Rittich still owns a sub-.900 save percentage for the month of February, but it's something the 27-year-old can build on.

Rittich is expected to draw the road start for Sunday's matchup versus Detroit, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich will be between the pipes for the first time since he was chased from his last start in an 8-4 loss to Chicago. He's struggled in his past five starts, going 2-2-0 along with a 3.46 GAA and .890 save percentage. The 27-year-old will draw a phenomenal matchup against a Red Wings offense that ranks last in the league in goals per game this season (2.00).
