Rittich will get the starting nod for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

With Juuse Saros (illness) not available Tuesday, Rittich will make his first appearance since coughing up six goals on 35 shots in a Nov. 27 loss to Colorado. On the year, he owns an .888 save percentage in just three outings. The 29-year-old could start against the Islanders on Thursday as well if Saros is still out.
