Rittich turned in a 43-save shutout in a 3-0 win over Columbus on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich wasn't busy early in the game, facing just eight shots in the opening 20 minutes, but the Flames' netminder was peppered with pucks in both the second and third periods, stopping 34 shots over the final 40. It didn't matter, as Rittich was unbeatable Saturday night. Following the shutout win, his 2019-20 record sits at 7-4-2.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was a little shaky Thursday against Nashville, surrendering five goals on 36 shots, but he ultimately earned his sixth win of the season thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. The 27-year-old netminder will attempt to pick up his third road win of the year in a matchup with a Columbus club that's only averaging 2.29 goals per game at home this campaign, 28th in the NHL.

Rittich allowed five goals on 36 shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win versus Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames trailed 4-1 after two periods, but a four-goal outburst by Calgary in the third and a goal by Matthew Tkachuk with one second left in OT enabled Rittich to escape with the win. He's had an up-and-down start to the season and tonight was already his sixth start allowing four goals or more. Rittich will enter November with a 6-4-2 record along with a 3.02 GAA and .906 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has been dialed in recently, maintaining an impressive 1.97 GAA and .945 save percentage through his last two starts, but he's posted a disappointing 0-1-1 record over that span due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The 27-year-old backstop will look to stay sharp in a tough road matchup with a surging Nashville team that's won four consecutive contests.

Rittich turned aside 26 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old took a shutout into the third period before getting beaten twice by teenager Andrei Svechnikov -- the first coming on a lacrosse-style goal from behind the net, and the second while the netminder was screened on a Carolina power play. Rittich is now 5-4-2 on the year with a 2.86 GAA and .910 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich made 43 of 45 shots against the Jets on Saturday, but was still saddled with the overtime loss. The netminder has appeared in 10 of the Flames' 13 games this season and cemented himself as the preferred No. 1 option over Cam Talbot, who was expected to compete for starts, but has thus been relegated to a reserve role.

Rittich stopped 43 of 45 shots but found himself on the wrong side of a 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich found himself under siege, denying the Jets until a long-range Josh Morrissey power-play goal at 15:49 of the third period. The Czech goalie couldn't hold in overtime, suffering a tough result for a strong performance. Rittich is 5-3-2 with a 2.94 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 10 starts. The Flames continue their road trip Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has been inconsistent this season with a 3.06 GAA and a .901 save percentage in nine games. The Czech netminder will be looking to bounce back from allowing five goals in a shootout win over the Panthers on Thursday. The Jets are averaging 2.55 goals-per-game this season, ranking 24th in the league. Their lack of offense could put Rittich in a position to succeed in what will likely be a memorable start in the outdoor game.

Rittich allowed five goals on 23 shots but took the win in a 6-5 shootout victory over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Both offenses were efficient, scoring five times on less than 25 shots, making it a nightmarish game for the netminders. Rittich improved his record to 5-3-1 but saw his GAA rise to 3.06 while his save percentage dipped to .901 in nine appearances. It's not exactly a confidence-inspiring effort for the 27-year-old, which makes it unclear which of Rittich or Cam Talbot will receive the starting nod from Coach Bill Peters for Saturday's Heritage Classic versus the Jets.

Rittich will be in goal for Thursday's home clash with Florida, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a disastrous outing versus the Kings, in which Rittich gave up four goals on 28 shots before getting the hook, the netminder watched from the bench for the Flames' last two contests. While the Czech remains the No. 1 option in Calgary, if he continues to underwhelm, he could find himself replaced by Cam Talbot.
