Set to start Thursday Rittich is slated to start Thursday's road game against Carolina, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact While Rittich has served as the Islanders' No. 2 netminder early in the season, he's been effective in limited action, going 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .940 save percentage over two starts. He'll face a tough road test Thursday, as the Hurricanes are averaging 3.75 goals per game to begin the season, which is tied for the second-best mark in the NHL.

Earns win in Isles debut Rittich stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Rittich was making his first start of the season, and while the Oilers were a difficult matchup on paper, the 33-year-old veteran had a solid performance to secure the win in his Islanders debut. Rittich is expected to serve as the No. 2 goaltender behind Ilya Sorokin, however, so he's not likely to be a regular between the pipes for the Isles, leaving his fantasy upside tied to a matchup-based scenario.

Set to start Wednesday Rittich is expected to start at home against Edmonton on Wednesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact It will be Rittich's first start of the season and as a member of the Islanders. He had a 16-14-2 record, 2.84 GAA and .886 save percentage in 34 regular-season appearances with the Kings last year. Rittich is serving as the Islanders' No. 2 goaltender, and he's unlikely to get more than 25 starts behind NYIIlya Sorokin.

First goalie off Monday Rittich was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, signaling that he'll get the preseason start at home against the Rangers.

Impact The Islanders are playing their penultimate preseason game Monday, so it could be Rittich's final opportunity to make his case for the No. 2 netminder job behind Ilya Sorokin. Rittich wasn't particularly effective during his preseason debut against the Rangers on Thursday, as he turned aside 20 of 24 shots while playing two periods, so he may need to have a stronger performance Monday if he hopes to stave off Marcus Hogberg, even though Hogberg has also had some struggles during preseason play.

Slated to start Thursday Rittich is expected to defend visiting crease versus the Rangers on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Rittich will be backed up by Marcus Hogberg as Ilya Sorokin gets the night off. Rittich was the backup goaltender for the Kings in 2024-25, going 16-14-2 with a 2.84 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 34 regular-season games. Rittich will battle the injured Semyon Varlamov (knee) and Hogberg for the No. 2 spot with the Islanders in 2025-26.
