Rittich allowed one goal on 29 shots in a 2-1 overtime victory against the Sabres on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

In his last appearance, Rittich yielded three goals in about 30 minutes, but nobody was stopping the Penguins offense that night, as Pittsburgh tagged Calgary for nine goals. Still, it was nice to see him bounce back. That rough performance included, Rittich is 3-1-0 with a .939 save percentage and 2.08 GAA in six appearances this season. Owners should feel confident starting Rittich while he's on this hot streak.

EDGE Analysis

There's no question that Mike Smith remains the No. 1 goalie for the Flames, but Rittich stood on his head with a 44-save victory over the Rangers on Sunday, so coach Bill Peters will stick with the hot hand. The 26-year-old netminder from the Czech Republic is humbled by the opportunity to start two games in a row. "Everyone knows my role on the team, so I thought it's going to be Smitty who would play in Montreal. But it's me," Rittich said. "I'm happy I get two games in a row."

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was originally pegged for his season debut Thursday, but a 43-save shutout from Mike Smith changed those plans.
