Rittich made 21 saves on 24 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Canucks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rittich had been riding the bench for the past eight games while Juuse Saros minded the net for Nashville, and this performance may not invoke much confidence in the backup. The 29-year-old has not done especially well when he has been called upon this season, which has been infrequently. Since Nov. 11 against St. Louis, Rittich has made just seven appearances in Nashville's 28 contests during that span.
