Rittich permitted two goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich can thank a four-goal second period from the Flames for giving him a cushion he could protect. The Czech netminder has been solid with a four-game winning streak, during which he's allowed 10 goals. For the year, he's 9-4-2 with a 2.74 GAA and a .915 save percentage. The 27-year-old is becoming quite the workhorse in his second full season, and should be considered likely to start Saturday's game against the Blues.

Rittich will tend the twine for Thursday's home clash with New Jersey, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich has put together a three-game winning streak heading into Thursday's matchup. The Czech is undefeated in three prior appearances versus the Devils, in which he posted a .910 save percentage and 2.34 GAA. With the Flames -160 favorites, the netminder could be highly owned in DFS contests and should be considered a top-end play in season-long formats.

Rittich stopped 34 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Things weren't looking good for Rittich and the Flames until the offense sparked to life with a pair of goals in the third period. Rittich then received the win as Tkachuk buried his second tally of the night in overtime. The Czech netminder improved to 8-4-2 with a 2.79 GAA and a .915 save percentage. He's hot right now, winning his last three starts, and he'll probably start again Thursday versus the Devils.

Rittich will tend the twine for Tuesday's tilt with Arizona, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich has had mixed results in his previous five outings, as he recorded a shutout over the Blue Jackets, but also gave up five goals to both the Predators and Panthers, though he picked up wins in both those games. The Coyotes enter Tuesday's matchup on the second half of a back-to-back, which should improve Rittich's chances of securing his eighth win of the season.

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.

Rittich will guard the cage during Saturday's road game against the Blue Jackets, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
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.

Rittich will guard the cage during Thursday's road game against the Predators, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
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.

Rittich will tend the twine for Tuesday's road tilt versus Carolina, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
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.
