Rittich stopped 14 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a good performance for Rittich, who gave up a goal in each of the first two periods and one more in overtime. He's now lost his last two outings past regulation time and has just one win in his last six games. Rittich is 12-11-2 with a 2.60 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 26 games. Until he can get more positive results, he won't pose much of a threat to Darcy Kuemper's role as the Kings' top goalie. Rittich likely won't have to wait long for his next start -- the Kings have a road back-to-back up next with games in Dallas and St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Rittich is slated to start at home against Vancouver on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has a 12-11-1 record, 2.59 GAA and .890 save percentage in 25 appearances with the Kings in 2024-25. He stopped 25 of 26 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to Anaheim in his last start Feb. 8. The Canucks rank 26th in goals per game with 2.74.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich had a poor showing in a shootout win over the Stars on Friday. He played better Saturday, but the results evened out, as he gave up two goals in this shootout to let the Ducks escape with a road win. Rittich has allowed just seven goals while going 1-1-1 across his last three contests. The 32-year-old is 12-11-1 with a 2.59 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 25 appearances this season, his most games played in any campaign since he saw action in 48 contests in 2019-20 with the Flames. Darcy Kuemper (personal) figures to be back in action when the Kings' schedule resumes Feb. 22 versus Utah.

Rittich will start at home versus the Ducks on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darcy Kuemper (personal) won't suit up, so Rittich will start back-to-back games, and Pheonix Copley will serve as backup. Rittich battled to earn a 5-4 shootout win over the Stars on Friday, stopping 26 of 30 shots. He has won two of his last six outings, allowing at least four goals on three occasions.

Rittich stopped 26 of 30 shots in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich didn't have a great performance, but he got the job done against a tough opponent. The 32-year-old netminder turned aside both of the Stars' shootout attempts to secure the win. Rittich improved to 12-11-0 with a 2.67 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 24 contests this season, though he had lost his previous three outings before this win. Darcy Kuemper, who welcomed a child Friday, is probable to start Saturday against the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has an 11-11-0 record, 2.62 GAA and .887 save percentage in 23 appearances in 2024-25. His last start came Jan. 30 when he stopped 30 of 32 shots in a 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay -- the final goal was scored on an empty net. Dallas ranks 10th in goals per game with 3.17.

Rittich made 30 saves in a 3-0 loss to the Lightning on Thursday. He allowed two goals.

EDGE Analysis

He kept the game close -- the score was just 1-0 until the 15:39 mark of the third period. Still, Rittich has lost three consecutive games and five of his last six starts. He's 11-11-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .889 save percentage in 21 starts this season. Rittich is a risk every time he's in the paint.

Rittich is expected to serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's road game against Tampa Bay, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has seen sporadic playing time in recent weeks, but he'll tend the twine in the second half of a back-to-back set Thursday. Over his last five starts, he's gone 1-4-0 with a 3.25 GAA and .863 save percentage, and he'll have a tough test Thursday since the Lightning rank second in the NHL with 3.49 goals per game.

Rittich stopped 27 of 32 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has made only six appearances since the beginning of December, and the results haven't been encouraging, as he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.04 GAA and an .876 save percentage in that span. He's also posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in each of his last three starts, so fantasy managers would be better suited to look elsewhere when Darcy Kuemper isn't starting for the Kings.

Rittich was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich didn't appear in any of the Kings' last three games, but he'll tend the twine Monday as the team returns home following five consecutive road matchups. Over 21 appearances this year, Rittich has gone 11-9-0 with a 2.52 GAA and .887 save percentage.
