Rittich stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich didn't have much trouble in this game, giving up just a second-period tally to rookie Cameron Lund. The Kings' offense did more than enough to handle a weaker opponent with ease. Rittich went 3-2-0 in March, allowing 16 goals over those five games, though four of them were against teams in the playoff race. Rittich is up to 15-13-2 with a 2.71 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 31 appearances this season. Darcy Kuemper will likely draw the tough home start versus the Jets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings are playing in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday, so Rittich will be between the pipes for the second time in the team's last three games. He's made four starts this month, going 2-2-0 with a 3.78 GAA and .883 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Sharks, who are averaging just 2.60 goals per game this season, which is tied for the second-worst mark in the NHL.
