Rittich stopped 24 of 25 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After manning the net in a chaotic 9-4 victory Tuesday against the Devils, Rittich showed some of his early-season dominance by allowing just one goal. Rittich improved to 25-7-5 with a 2.65 GAA and a .910 save percentage. With Mike Smith back in the fold after a brief illness, it's unclear which netminder will be tasked with the road start in Winnipeg on Saturday.

Rittich will start in goal in Friday's home contest versus the Rangers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich has won his last two appearances, but he yielded seven goals, with the Flames scoring 15 to bail him out. He's 4-2 with a 2.86 GAA and an .898 save percentage over his last six starts. The visiting Rangers have only scored five times over their last four road games, making this a good opportunity for Rittich to get his recent ratios in line with his record a bit more.

Rittich let in four goals on 26 shots, but came away with the win in Tuesday's 9-4 trouncing over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich allowed the Devils to take a 4-3 lead into the third period, giving up a shorthanded goal to Travis Zajac, but the Flames got him off the hook with a six-goal performance in the final frame. Rittich improved to 24-7-5, but saw his GAA rise to 2.69 while his save percentage dipped to .909 after the chaotic win. Rittich will need to be better if he has any hopes of claiming the starting job outright. The Flames next play the 21st-ranked Rangers offense on Friday.

Rittich will patrol the crease in Tuesday's home game against New Jersey, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich wasn't great in his last start Sunday against Vegas, surrendering three goals on 28 shots, but he ultimately did enough to pick up his 23rd win of the season. The 26-year-old netminder will look to keep rolling and secure a second straight victory in a favorable home matchup with a struggling Devils squad that's lost six consecutive contests.

Rittich stopped 25 of 28 shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich took a hard-luck 2-1 loss Wednesday in Vegas, but bounced back as the Flames offense ignited back at home. Rittich improved to 23-7-5 with a 2.65 GAA and a .911 save percentage. The Flames' crease is still up for grabs, making it unclear if Rittich or Mike Smith will draw Tuesday's start against the Devils.

Rittich will tend the home goal in Sunday's contest against the Golden Knights, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich has been decent in his last four starts, accumulating a 2-2-0 record to go along with a 2.53 GAA and .912 save percentage. The 26-year-old should be busy, facing a Vegas offense that ranks second in the league in shots per game (34.5). With the crease up for grabs in Calgary, especially for the playoffs, each start is massive for Rittich.

Rittich allowed two goals on 38 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After yielding six goals in a tough loss to the Maple Leafs, Rittich got back on track in this one, but still took the loss going up against an absolutely red-hot Marc-Andre Fleury. Rittich has a terrific record, but he also owns an .885 save percentage since the All-Star break. He is 22-7-5 with a 2.64 GAA and .911 save percentage in 38 games this season.

Rittich will tend the road net versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Ryan Leslie of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich let in six goals versus the Maple Leafs on Monday, but he'll draw in for the first game of a road back-to-back. He's 2-1 in his last three games, but he surrendered eight goals on 75 shots in that span. Expect Mike Smith to make the start Thursday in Arizona.
