Rittich allowed four goals on 28 shots over two periods of work in a 4-1 loss to the Kings on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was swapped for Cam Talbot to start the third period, but the damage was already done at that point. Rittich owns a 4-3-1 record through eight starts this year. It's the fourth time he's allowed four or more goals in an appearance. Talbot is all but confirmed to start Sunday in Anaheim to close out the back-to-back set.

Rittich will get the start Saturday in Los Angeles, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich will be a popular DFS option against a Kings team that's been shut out in each of its last two games. The Czech netminder has gone through some peaks and valleys in the early going, but he sports a 2.55 GAA and .919 save percentage through seven games, and Rittich has allowed a total of four goals in his four wins this season.

Rittich stopped 27 of 28 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

That's the second straight start in which Rittich has allowed only one goal after he was shelled for six last Saturday against Vegas. Rittich was actually inches away from a shutout, with the lone Detroit goal coming after he had stopped Anthony Mantha's breakaway, but the puck squeezed through him and sat there long enough for Darren Helm to swoop in and tap it home. Rittich has been all over the map in his first seven starts, giving up four-plus goals in three of them but two goals or fewer in the other four. Overall, he's 3-2-1 with a 2.80 GAA and .912 save percentage heading into Saturday's game at LA.

Rittich will guard the goal during Thursday's home game against the Red Wings, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was dialed in during his last start, stopping 21 of 22 shots en route to a tidy 3-1 victory over the Flyers on Tuesday. The 27-year-old will look to keep rolling in a home matchup with a Detroit team that's averaging 2.83 goals per game this campaign, 19th in the NHL.

Rittich allowed one goal on 22 shots in a 3-1 win over the Flyers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich faced less than 30 shots for the first time in six starts this season, and it served him quite well as he won his third game. The 27-year-old has alternated between good and bad outings so far, but he's the clear No. 1 for the Flames this season. Rittich will probably start again Thursday versus the Red Wings.

Rittich will protect the home goal versus the Flyers on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich is looking for a bounce-back effort after yielding six goals on 30 shots to the Golden Knights in his last start. With a 3.16 GAA and a .906 save percentage through five games, the Czech netminder's early performances have been a mixed bag. The Flyers have scored 10 goals over their first three games of the year, which ranks 13th in the league.

Rittich allowed six goals on 30 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich allowed three goals to the Golden Knights' fourth line, which undoubtedly made Saturday's performance tougher to swallow. The Czech netminder has a 2-2-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and a .906 save percentage through five appearances. He'll take a seat Sunday as Cam Talbot makes his season debut in San Jose.

Rittich will be in goal Saturday when Calgary takes on the Golden Knights in Vegas, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich made 34 saves in his last start, a 3-2 shootout win over the Stars. The Golden Knights, through four games, are averaging the seventh-most shots on goal (34), so Rittich will need to be on his game Saturday if he hopes to come away with his third win of 2019-20.

Rittich allowed two goals on 36 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich's last save was the biggest, as he stoned Alexander Radulov on a penalty shot in overtime. The Czech netminder then stopped two of the three Stars shooters to pick up the win. Rittich owns a 2-1-1 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .929 save percentage through four games. He'll split the weekend's road games -- Saturday in Vegas and Sunday in San Jose -- with backup Cam Talbot.

Rittich is the projected starter for Thursday's game in Dallas, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has established himself as Calgary's No. 1 option in net, but he hasn't gotten much help from his team's defense, facing an average of 35 shots per game in his first three appearances. The 27-year-old netminder has gone 1-1-1 in those three games despite posting a .924 save percentage, but he gets a nice opportunity to get back into the win column against a Stars team that's just 1-3-0 to start the year.
