Rittich (knee) will tend goal in a split-squad game versus the Canucks on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Most of the Flames' top players, including Rittich, are appearing in the home game, while the depth players travel to Victoria. Rittich battled with a nagging knee injury for most of the second half of last season, but he should be good to go from the start this season. Rittich is competing with free-agent addition Cam Talbot for the primary starting job this season, and the two are expected to split time in this contest.
