Nabs win in Dallas Rittich turned aside 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact The veteran backup to Ilya Sorokin had an answer for every Dallas skater except Jason Robertson, who got pucks by him in the second and third periods. Rittich has allowed exactly two goals in all five of his wins this season, but his ratios are weighed down by the 11 goals on 60 shots he surrendered in his two losses, leaving him with a 2.99 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Secures overtime win Rittich stopped 27 of 29 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Rittich had gone three games without a start, matching his longest stint on the bench this season. He had to play in the second half of a back-to-back, which saw the Islanders start a little sluggish and then find their way into the game later. Rittich is 4-2-0 on the year, and he's allowed exactly two goals in each of his victories while struggling more heavily in his losses. Ilya Sorokin will still get the bulk of the starts for the Islanders and will likely handle an immensely challenging start Sunday in Colorado.

Set to start Friday Rittich is expected to defend the cage on the road versus Utah on Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Rittich will take the second game of the Islanders' back-to-back, while Ilya Sorokin gets the nod on the road versus Vegas on Thursday. In his five outings this year, the 33-year-old Rittich has logged a 3-2-0 record to go with a 3.41 GAA and zero shutouts.

Subpar showing Friday Rittich stopped 21 of 26 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact Rittich has started in three of the Islanders' last five games, but his numbers haven't been encouraging since he's gone 1-2-0 with a 4.34 GAA and an .841 save percentage over that span. Rittich will return to his regular backup role since Ilya Sorokin will get the nod Saturday against the Rangers on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Even if he starts on a semi-regular basis, it's hard to trust Rittich to perform well in any fantasy format. He's gone 3-2-0 with a 3.41 GAA and an .886 save percentage through five appearances this season.

In goal Friday Rittich will get the starting nod for Friday's home game against the Wild, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Rittich will take the first game of the Isles' back-to-back before Ilya Sorokin tends the twine on the road versus the Rangers on Saturday. It will be the fifth appearance of the season for the 33-year-old Rittich, having gone 3-1-0 with a 3.01 GAA in his previous four outings. If Rittich can keep racking up wins, he could force head coach Patrick Roy to give him some more opportunities down the stretch.

Third win in four tries Rittich stopped 20 shots on 22 attempts in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Rittich allowed just one goal inside the first 50 minutes of regulation before the Blue Jackets took a brief lead, which was then taken back by New York with two goals in the final two minutes. With the win, the 33-year-old goaltender has a 3-1-0 record with a 3.01 GAA and a .902 save percentage across four appearances. Sunday's start was his second appearance in three games, which is a stretch of action he hasn't seen yet this season. With starting goaltender Ilya Sorokin facing struggles in the early stages of this season, Rittich might get a few extra opportunities in the backup role to keep Sorokin fresh. With three wins to start the season, Rittich is a solid spot start in fantasy for the time being.

Making third home start Rittich will get the start in net for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact The Islanders have only had one back-to-back so far this season, so the team has had to be creative in finding ways to get Rittich work. He'll be starting for the fourth time this season Sunday. The 33-year-old will look to rebound after by far his worst start of his three on the year, surrendering six goals on 34 shots against the Hurricanes. The Blue Jackets, winners of four in a row, await Sunday.

Rough outing against Canes Rittich made 27 saves in a 6-2 loss to Carolina on Thursday.

Impact The Canes are one of the best teams in the East, so they didn't make things easy for Rittich and the Isles. He allowed six goals, two more than in his previous two games combines. Rittich has won two games this season -- that's half of the Islanders' wins in an ugly start that has them at the bottom of the East. Spot starting is really your only option, and the match-up matters.

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.
