Rittich stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich made a brief relief appearance Friday versus the Ducks, stopping two shots. That didn't impact his readiness to start Saturday, and he turned in a solid effort in another light workload. He hasn't faced more than 22 shots in any of his last six starts, and this was just the second time in that span he allowed multiple goals. He's now at a 9-6-0 record with a 2.48 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 16 appearances (14 starts). Rittich's save percentage is unlikely to go up much with such low shot totals directed at him, but he can stabilize a fantasy team's GAA while offering a good chance at wins. The Kings' next game is a tough one at home versus the Stars on Wednesday.

Rittich is set to guard the home goal against Ottawa on Saturday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has an 8-6-0 record, 2.52 GAA and .886 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. He limited the competition to one goal in four of five starts from Nov. 16-27, but there was a disastrous 7-2 loss to San Jose during that stretch, where he stopped just 14 of 21 shots. The Senators rank 14th in the league with 3.18 goals per game.

Rittich stopped 13 of 14 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't always make sense -- Rittich rebounded from a seven-goal meltdown against the Sharks by having an easy win over the Jets. He's now alternated wins and losses over his last six outings since taking over Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) in the starter role. Rittich is 8-6-0 with a 2.52 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. The Kings have a back-to-back up next, beginning with Friday's road game in Anaheim before they host the Senators on Saturday.

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

EDGE Analysis

Rittich allowed seven goals on 21 shots against the Sharks on Monday, but the Kings don't appear ready to give Erik Portillo a start at the NHL level. The 32-year-old Rittich will attempt to redeem himself against the league's top team, as the 18-4-0 Jets have averaged 4.05 goals per game, tied for first place in the NHL.

Rittich stopped 14 of 21 shots in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was fine through two periods, but the wheels fell off in the third, as the Sharks scored three times in a span of 3:40 early in frame and tacked on two more goals before the end of the game. Prior to Monday, Rittich had given up a total of seven goals over his previous six appearances, so this was an ugly performance by all metrics. He dropped to 7-6-0 with a 2.65 GAA and an .883 save percentage through 13 outings this season. Rittich is still the No. 1 for the Kings until Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) is cleared to return from injured reserve.

Rittich is slated to start on the road against San Jose on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has given up just one goal in each of his last four appearances (three starts) but he unfortunately took a 2-2-0 record in that span. In his previous two outings against the Sharks this year, the Czechia native has gone 1-1-0 with five goals allowed on 46 shots. With Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) still on the shelf, Rittich figures to continue carrying the load for the Kings.

Rittich stopped 19 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old netminder nearly recorded his first shutout of the season, but a Brandon Montour blast through traffic with less than two minutes left in the third period snuck past Rittich to end the shutout bid. Rittich has started three straight games with Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) sidelined and allowed only one goal in each, but with the Kings having called up Pheonix Copley to be the backup over unproven Erik Portillo, Rittich could get a breather as soon as Monday in San Jose.

Rittich is expected to start at home against Seattle on Saturday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has three wins, a 1.43 GAA and a .935 save percentage in his last five appearances. He has a 6-5-0 record, 2.37 GAA and .897 save percentage across 11 outings this season. Seattle ranks 18th in the league with 2.85 goals per game this campaign.

Rittich stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was good while facing a light workload, but Jason Zucker's power-play tally early in the third period was the difference. Rittich has allowed one goal or fewer in four of his last five appearances (four starts), but he's taken two losses in that span. The 32-year-old slipped to 6-5-0 through 11 appearances while adding a 2.37 GAA and an .897 save percentage this season. Rittich will continue to see a heavy workload until Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) can return from injured reserve.

Rittich is slated to start at home against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has a 6-4-0 record, 2.51 GAA and .892 save percentage in 10 appearances in 2024-25. He's coming off a 4-1 victory over Detroit on Saturday in which he stopped 17 of 18 shots. The Sabres rank 11th offensively with 3.33 goals per game.
