Rittich allowed one goal on 10 shots during one period of action in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Calgary elected to turn to Rittich in the third period trailing by a goal. The only score he allowed came on the power play, so it was an all around pretty decent first appearance in the NHL. This season, he also posted a 2.30 GAA, .921 save percentage and five shutouts in the AHL.

Rittich was recalled from AHL Stockton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With Jon Gillies being assigned to AHL Stockton and Chad Johnson (lower body) being day-to-day, the Flames called up Rittich in order to have a healthy backup to Brian Elliott. Rittich has never played in the NHL, but he has played good hockey in his first AHL season -- recording five shutouts, a 2.30 GAA, and a .921 save percentage. The Flames have one more regular season game Saturday in San Jose, so if they decide to rest Elliott, Rittich will the the next man up.
