Rittich will guard the cage in Wednesday's home game against the Stars, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has played extremely well in the month of November, compiling a 5-1-0 record while posting a 2.01 GAA and .921 save percentage in six appearances. The 26-year-old netminder will look to keep rolling and pick up his ninth victory of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a Dallas team that's only averaging 1.92 goals per game on the road this campaign, 30th in the NHL.

Rittich will be in goal on the road versus the Golden Knights on Friday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich will be making his fourth consecutive appearance between the pipes and is riding a six-game winning streak along with a 1.83 GAA. With his strong performances, the Czech has all but replaced Mike Smith as the starter in Calgary -- although his hold on the No. 1 role is likely tenuous at best.

Rittich allowed three goals but made 37 saves on 40 shots in a 6-3 victory against the Jets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Maybe the Flames answer in net has been in the organization all along? If not, Rittich is on some kind of hot streak, having won six straight with a .928 save percentage and 1.83 GAA during the streak. Maybe even more impressively, some of Rittich's numbers were actually better before the winning streak started. Overall, he is 8-1-0 with a .930 save percentage and 2.04 GAA. If this continues much longer, don't be surprised if Rittich takes the starting job from Mike Smith.

Rittich will start in goal Wednesday night against the visiting Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Czech goalie has seven wins in just 10 games, sporting a 1.93 GAA and .931 save percentage. Mike Smith -- who entered the season as the undisputed No. 1 option for the Flames -- has had Rittich breathing down his neck, and the latter is showing no signs of slowing down, having crafted a five-game winning streak. Still, the Jets are intimidating since they're so big and physical while boasting the league's best power play (32.1 percent). Overall, it's not the best matchup for Rittich, but know he's available if you're like Flames coach Bill Peters and prefer to ride the hot hand.
