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.

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.
