Rittich is slated to start at home versus Nashville on Thursday, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich has an 8-2-3 record, 2.25 GAA and .919 save percentage in 15 outings in 2023-24. He has won four of his last five contests while stopping 132 of 144 shots (.917 save percentage). Nashville is a decent 15-10-2 on the road, so the Predators might be a somewhat challenging opponent for Rittich.

Rittich made 28 saves in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Boston grabbed a 3-1 lead midway through the second period, but Rittich buckled down and gave his squad a chance to mount a comeback on the road. The 31-year-old netminder has won four of his last five starts, and since being called up in mid-December to replace Pheonix Copley (knee), Rittich sports a 2.25 GAA and .919 save percentage over 15 outings.

Rittich will defend the road net Saturday versus Boston, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich is coming off a 26-save performance in Thursday's 2-1 win over New Jersey. He has provided a 7-2-3 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.12 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 14 appearances. The Bruins sit 11th in the league this season with 3.31 goals per game.

Rittich made 26 saves in Thursday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

A Tyler Toffoli power-play tally in the second period accounted for all the damage against Rittich on the night. The veteran netminder bounced back in impressive fashion from his worst start of the season, and over his last 10 outings, Rittich is 5-2-2 with a 2.35 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Rittich led the Kings onto the ice, indicating he'll start on the road versus the Devils on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich stumbled versus the Sabres on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 17 shots over two periods. He'll try to get back on track Thursday, but the Devils are an even tougher challenge. They've scored 18 goals while going 3-2-1 over their last six games, so Rittich could have a tough time bouncing back.

Rittich stopped 12 of 17 shots before being replaced by Cam Talbot to begin the third period of Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Neither goalie carries too much blame for the final result, as the Kings showed little jump from the opening faceoff. Rittich was coming off a shutout of the Oilers, so his hold on the starting job likely isn't in much jeopardy -- over the last month, the 31-year-old netminder sports a 4-2-2 record in 10 appearances with a 2.43 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Rittich was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, indicating he'll guard the road cage against Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich is undefeated in regulation over his last six appearances, posting a 3-0-2 record and a 2.09 GAA. The 31-year-old netminder will be logging his fifth straight outing, having supplanted Cam Talbot as the preferred option between the pipes. Rittich hasn't reached the 10-win mark since 2019-20 when he was in Calgary but could get back over that threshold this time around.

Rittich posted a 26-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich turned in an excellent effort against what had been one of the league's hottest teams before the All-Star break. He kept the game scoreless in the first period and kept rolling after the Kings' offense gave him some support. The 31-year-old goalie is now 6-1-3 with a 1.90 GAA and a .931 save percentage through 12 outings. Rittich isn't that good, but he's been just what the Kings need lately while Cam Talbot works through a slump. The Kings begin a road trip back east Tuesday, facing the Sabres.

Rittich was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease Saturday against Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich is coming off a 40-save performance in a 4-2 win over Nashville on Jan. 31. He has provided a 5-1-3 record this campaign with a 2.09 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 11 games played. The Oilers sit fourth in the league this season with 3.49 goals per contest.

Rittich stopped 41 of 43 Nashville shots in the Kings' 4-2 win Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

While Rittich hasn't taken a regulation loss in his last five starts, he has not always looked great in those tilts. Wednesday's game broke a streak of three straight games with a save percentage of .895 or lower.
