Rittich allowed four goals on 15 shots in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich won't be on the hook for this one, as the Flames covered his damage, but it still counts as an ugly performance. He only lasted about five minutes into the second period before a turnover led to the Blackhawks' fourth goal, which got the netminder pulled. He remains at 22-15-5 with a 2.93 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 43 starts. The recent poor outings make Rittich a risky fantasy play going forward, although a meeting with the Ducks on Monday could be favorable if he gets the start.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has been shaky as of late for the Flames, going 2-3-0 along with a 3.67 GAA and .886 save percentage in his last five starts. The 27-year-old will get a decent matchup Saturday, however, taking on a Blackhawks offense that sits 20th in the league in goals per game this year.

Rittich gave up four goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich played perfectly over the first 30 minutes of the game, but allowed two goals in a span of 39 seconds in the second period. The Flames never recovered from that stretch. The 27-year-old dropped to 22-15-5 with a 2.87 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Rittich's performances have been a roller coaster lately -- he's 4-4-0 with 25 goals allowed in his last eight starts. Expect Cam Talbot in goal for Thursday's game in Anaheim.

Rittich will claim the net Wednesday versus the Kings in Los Angeles, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittichhas performed well in his recent road outings, collecting wins against the Sharks and Canucks on Saturday and Monday. He'll aim to keep his successful road trip on track Wednesday versus a Kings club that has averaged just 1.71 goals per game since the All-Star break. It wouldn't be surprising if he was then given a night off in the second game of a back-to-back set Thursday versus the Ducks.

Rittich saved 34 of 36 shots in Monday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The Czech netminder put in a second straight good performance to defeat the Sharks. Rittich improved to 22-14-5 with a 2.84 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 41 starts this year. With the Flames in the midst of a tight playoff race, expect Rittich to get a majority of the starts over the stretch run.

Rittich will get the road start Monday versus the Sharks, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has been impressive on the road in 2020, as he's posted a 4-2-0 record and .915 save percentage. The Sharks have shown some life lately despite key injuries up front, but they've still lost five of their last seven road contests while averaging 2.7 goals per game.

Rittich turned aside 25 of 27 shots in a 6-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

In a game full of tension between two division rivals locked in a close race for a playoff spot, Rittich stayed composed to get his first win in his last three starts. The 27-year-old improved to 21-14-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 40 starts. The Flames continue their road trip in San Jose on Monday.

Rittich will be in goal Saturday when the Flames visit Vancouver, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has split a pair of starts versus the Canucks this season but is coming off back-to-back losses. Both teams are hoping to avoid a fourth consecutive loss. Calgary's netminder will be opposed by Jacob Markstrom.

Rittich yielded three goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich lost a second straight outing despite the Flames opening the scoring through Johnny Gaudreau's power-play goal. The 27-year-old goalie dropped to 20-14-5 with a 2.88 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 39 starts this season. Given Rittich's recent struggles, it wouldn't be surprising to see Cam Talbot get the nod for Thursday's game against the Predators.

Rittich will stand guard in the home goal Tuesday versus the Sharks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich will aim to put a disastrous outing versus the Oilers behind him when he takes the ice Tuesday for his third consecutive start. The fourth-year NHLer still sports a respectable 9-5-3 record on home ice, but he owns just a 2.99 GAA and a .902 save percentage, both worse than his road marks. Next up is a Sharks team that averaged just 2.45 goals per game in January and failed to tally a goal in its first game without Tomas Hertl (knee).
