Rittich allowed only one goal on 29 shots in a 5-1 win over the Oilers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames' offense came to play, scoring within the first two minutes of each period. Rittich only gave up a deflected goal from Connor McDavid. The Czech netminder improved to 17-8-5 with a 2.65 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 30 games. The 27-year-old played well enough to earn another start Sunday versus the Canucks.

Rittich will guard the cage against the Oilers on the road Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich has gone 1-0-1 with a 2.10 GAA in his previous three outings, including a brief six-save relief appearance against Minnesota on Monday. With Friday's contest, the netminder will reach the 30-game mark and could top 60 before the end of the campaign. If he plays in that many contests, the Czech should challenge for 30 wins.

Rittich will get the road start in Sunday's game against the Stars, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich's performance of late is nothing to call home about, as he's allowed at least three goals in four of the last five outings, but he did mark a 3-1-1 record in that stretch. The Stars have been up and down recently, and they've been overall unimpressive at home this year, scoring 2.63 goals per game -- 30th in the league.

Rittich allowed four goals on 43 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
That was a stellar performance for Rittich despite taking the loss. After rattling off five straight wins, Rittich has now dropped back-to-back starts. He'll get a chance to return to the win column beginning Sunday when Calgary opens a three-game road trip at Dallas.

Rittich will guard the cage during Thursday's matchup with Montreal, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich wasn't great in his last start Saturday against the Hurricanes, allowing three goals on 30 shots en route to a 4-0 loss. The 27-year-old backstop will look to bounce back in a home matchup with a Canadiens club that's averaging 3.27 goals per game on the road this year, eighth in the NHL.

Rittich made 27 saves in 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
He allowed three goals. The loss snapped a personal five-game winning streak for Rittich, who has emerged as a solid fantasy starter. But it's important to note that he's allowed at least three goals in three of his last four starts. No panic yet, but Rittich needs more games like his stellar work against the Leafs on Thursday night.

Rittich will guard the crease for Thursday's clash with Toronto, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich is riding a four-game winning streak and hasn't lost in regulation since Nov. 21 versus the Blues. The netminder gave up four goals his last time out against Colorado on Monday and is facing a star-studded Leafs squad that is capable of putting up goals in a hurry.
