Rittich will patrol the crease during Thursday's road game versus the Senators, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich was sharp in his last start Wednesday against Toronto, turning aside 37 of 39 shots, but he ultimately suffered his fourth loss of the season due to lackluster goal support from his teammates. The 28-year-old backstop will attempt to get back in the win column in a road matchup with an Ottawa team that's 3-5-1 at home this year.
