Rittich will defend the blue paint during Monday's road game versus the Hurricanes, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich wasn't great in his last start Jan. 4 versus Detroit, surrendering three goals on only 27 shots en route to a 4-3 overtime defeat. He'll try to get back in the win column in a tough road matchup with a hot Carolina team that's won seven of its last eight games.
