David Rittich - Page 14 - NHL News & Rumors

Needed in relief Friday Rittich turned aside seven of nine shots in the third period after replacing Connor Hellebuyck during Friday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Neither goalie had much luck slowing down Edmonton's high-powered offense, but both the goals Rittich allowed came with Winnipeg down a skater -- one on an Oilers power play, and the other on a delayed penalty call against the Jets. Hellebuyck is in a slump right now, but Rittich has started only one of the last seven games and may not see a whole lot more action as the Jets focus on getting their starter right for the playoffs. If he does begin to cut into Hellebuyck's workload, Rittich's 2.55 GAA and .908 save percentage on the season could make him a solid fantasy option.

First loss in last five starts Rittich made 21 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets. He allowed two goals.

Impact He was beaten twice, but neither shot was stoppable. Patrik Laine fired a laser on the power play in the second that nicked Rittich's shoulder and went shelf over his glove. That made it 1-1. Kent Johnson then scored the winner in the third when he came off the boards and was looking high slot when he spun quickly and flung the puck into the net from the right circle. This was Rittich's first loss in his last five starts.

Rittich gets a favorable matchup facing the Blue Jackets, who are the third lowest-scoring team in the NHL, averaging 2.52 goals per game.
