Rittich will defend the blue paint during Saturday's home game versus Winnipeg, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was rock solid in his last start last Saturday against Toronto, stopping 31 of 33 shots, but he ultimately suffered his seventh loss of the season due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates. The 28-year-old backstop will attempt to get back in the win column in a tough home matchup with a hot Jets team that's won three straight games.
