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).

Rittich allowed six goals on 28 shots in an 8-3 loss to the Oilers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was pulled after four goals, but when Cam Talbot fought Oilers goalie Mike Smith, both netminders were ejected. This forced Rittich back into the game. He wore the loss, which dropped his record to 20-13-5 with a 2.87 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 38 appearances. He's allowed three or more goals in six of his last nine starts -- the Czech goalie has been far from consistent recently.

Rittich will defend the home net Saturday versus the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich walked away with a shootout win in Wednesday's clash against the divisional rival, and he'll get the nod in the quick rematch. He's beaten the Oilers in both matchups this year, allowing four goals on 63 shots -- a .936 save percentage -- between the contests, which were both on the road.

Rittich turned aside 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich's first appearance since the All-Star break saw him perform fairly well. He limited the Oilers to just one power-play goal on five opportunities. The Czech goalie then saved all three shootout attempts to get the win. Rittich improved to 20-12-5 with a 2.77 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 37 starts. It's his second win over the Oilers this year, but it's unclear if Geoff Ward will turn back to the 27-year-old for Saturday's Battle of Alberta rematch.

Rittich will guard the cage during Wednesday's road game versus the Oilers, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich struggled in his last appearance Jan. 18 against the Senators, surrendering four goals on just 20 shots en route to an ugly 5-2 loss. The 27-year-old backstop will try to bounce back in a road matchup with a hot Edmonton team that's gone 5-1-0 in its last six games.

Rittich made 16 saves in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa on Saturday. He allowed four goals.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough game for Rittich, who didn't really see much action until into the second period. It can be hard to stay sharp when the Flames outshot the Sens 15-3 in the first period alone. Rittich had been coming off a couple of outstanding performances, so chalk this up as an outlier.

Rittich will be stationed between the pipes for Saturday's contest in Ottawa, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich will make his third consecutive start after allowing just three goals on 73 shots over his last two outings combined. The All-Star netminder owns a 2.73 GAA and .915 save percentage on the season. Rittich stopped 26-of-27 shots in a win over the Senators back on Nov. 30.
