Rittich (knee) and the Flames agreed on a two-year, $5.5 million contract Saturday, Jim Cerny of Sporting News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich filed for salary arbitration in early July, but he and Calgary were ultimately able to avoid the disagreement by coming to terms. The 26-year-old appeared in 45 games for the Flames last season, going 27-9-5 with a 2.61 GAA and .911 save percentage, and is recovering from a knee injury.

Rittich (knee) filed for salary arbitration Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich appeared in 45 games for Calgary last season, managing a 27-9-5 record while boasting a 2.61 GAA and .911 save percentage. The 26-year-old dealt with knee issues when the calendar turned to 2019, but his production from last season would likely speak for itself in negotiations, which will likely be over before the arbitration hearings.

Rittich (knee) received a qualifying offer from the Flames on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was an aberation for the Flames in net last season, going 27-9-5 along with a 2.42 GAA and .924 save percentage in 45 games. He dealt with a knee injury since the calendar turned to 2019, but should be fine heading into next campaign. With a solid season from the 26-year-old, he'll likely want to structure a long-term deal with the team rather than playing on his qualifying offer.

Rittich dealt with a knee injury from the start of 2019, Kristen Anderson of The Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury occurred during an 8-5 win over the Sharks on Dec. 31. Rittich went 14-5-2 with a 2.83 GAA and a .902 save percentage after picking up the injury. It will prevent the netminder from playing with the Czech Republic at the World Championship in Slovakia, as he will take the offseason to get healthy and prepared for next season.

Rittich stopped 29 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

He started out shaky with two goals against in the first period and the offense did nothing to bail him out of that hole. Rittich's record dropped to 27-9-5 with a 2.61 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Rittich has gone 3-2-0 over his last five games with only 10 goals against, but it's unclear if his recent success has done enough to earn him first crack at the starter's job in the playoffs.

Rittich will guard the goal in Wednesday's road game against the Ducks, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was rock solid in his last start Monday against LA, turning aside 23 of 25 shots en route to a convincing 7-2 victory. The 26-year-old netminder will look to keep rolling and pick up his 28th win of the season in a favorable road matchup with a Ducks team that's only averaging 2.54 goals per game at home this campaign, last in the NHL.

Rittich stopped 23 of 25 shots Monday, helping his team to a 7-2 rout of Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Two is the magic number for Rittich as of late, as he's now conceded two goals in each of his past three starts. He's given up seven goals in four starts, and his owners will be thrilled if he can do that in the playoffs.

Rittch was start between the pipes in Monday's road game against the Kings, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has been solid in his last five starts, going 4-1-0 along with a 2.42 GAA and .911 save percentage in that span. He will draw a great matchup against an offense that ranks second-to-last in goals per game this season (2.40). With the playoffs around the corner, every start will be key for Rittich if he wants to be the guy down the stretch.

Rittich let in two goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Both of the Stars' goals came on their two power plays in the contest. Rittich's hard-luck loss gives him a 26-8-5 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Rittich and Mike Smith are both coming off of losses without getting much support from the offense, making it unclear which netminder will take the crease Friday versus the Ducks.

Rittich will get a turn in the crease when the Stars pay a visit Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich hasn't played since taking since March 19, in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets. He enters Wednesday's appearance on a four-game winning streak, but he has allowed 10 goals in that span. The Stars have averaged 3.8 goals per game in their last five road contests, so the well-rested Rittich will likely be tested frequently.
