David Rittich - Page 6 - NHL News & Rumors

Shaky but good enough for win Rittich stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Rittich avoided a fourth straight loss, though he nearly squandered a three-goal lead over the last nine minutes of the game. The 32-year-old has allowed 19 goals over his last six outings while going 2-2-2 in that span, putting him at a 13-12-2 record for the season. He's added a 2.75 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 28 appearances. Darcy Kuemper will likely be back in goal Tuesday versus the Islanders and may start all three of the Kings' games over the next week since they don't have any back-to-backs.

Allows four goals in loss Rittich stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

Impact Rittich took his third straight loss, though the previous two had been past regulation time. The 32-year-old netminder has allowed eight goals during his skid, which could prompt the Kings to seek goaltending help ahead of the trade deadline. Rittich is a passable 12-12-2 on the season with a 2.66 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 27 appearances, his most in five years. The Kings wrap up their road trip in Chicago on Monday, which is likely to be a start for Darcy Kuemper, but they host the Blues twice more over the next week (Wednesday and Saturday).

Starting in St. Louis Rittich will guard the home crease Saturday against the Blues, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Impact Rittich will return to the net after struggling in his last outing Wednesday, when he allowed three goals on just 17 shots in an overtime loss to Vancouver. Overall, Rittich is 12-11-2 this season with an .888 save percentage and 2.60 GAA.

Poor showing in spot start Rittich stopped 14 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact It wasn't a good performance for Rittich, who gave up a goal in each of the first two periods and one more in overtime. He's now lost his last two outings past regulation time and has just one win in his last six games. Rittich is 12-11-2 with a 2.60 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 26 games. Until he can get more positive results, he won't pose much of a threat to Darcy Kuemper's role as the Kings' top goalie. Rittich likely won't have to wait long for his next start -- the Kings have a road back-to-back up next with games in Dallas and St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Slated to start Thursday Rittich is expected to serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's road game against Tampa Bay, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Impact Rittich has seen sporadic playing time in recent weeks, but he'll tend the twine in the second half of a back-to-back set Thursday. Over his last five starts, he's gone 1-4-0 with a 3.25 GAA and .863 save percentage, and he'll have a tough test Thursday since the Lightning rank second in the NHL with 3.49 goals per game.

Struggles continue Monday Rittich stopped 27 of 32 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Rittich has made only six appearances since the beginning of December, and the results haven't been encouraging, as he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.04 GAA and a .876 save percentage in that span. He's also posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in his last three starts, so fantasy managers would be better suited to look elsewhere when Darcy Kuemper isn't starting for the Kings.
