He limited the competition to just one goal in four of his five starts from Nov. 16-27, though sprinkled in that five-game stretch was also a disastrous 7-2 loss to San Jose in which he stopped just 14 of 21 shots.

Light work in win Rittich stopped 13 of 14 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact It doesn't always make sense -- Rittich rebounded from a seven-goal meltdown against the Sharks by having an easy win over the Jets. He's now alternated wins and losses over his last six outings since taking over Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) in the starter role. Rittich is 8-6-0 with a 2.52 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. The Kings have a back-to-back up next, beginning with Friday's road game in Anaheim before they host the Senators on Saturday.

In goal Wednesday Rittich will start at home versus the Jets on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Rittich allowed seven goals on 21 shots against the Sharks on Monday, but the Kings don't appear ready to give Erik Portillo a start at the NHL level. The 32-year-old Rittich will attempt to redeem himself against the league's top team, as the 18-4-0 Jets have averaged 4.05 goals per game, tied for first place in the NHL.

Ugly outing in San Jose Rittich stopped 14 of 21 shots in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Rittich was fine through two periods, but the wheels fell off in the third, as the Sharks scored three times in a span of 3:40 early in frame and tacked on two more goals before the end of the game. Prior to Monday, Rittich had given up a total of seven goals over his previous six appearances, so this was an ugly performance by all metrics. He dropped to 7-6-0 with a 2.65 GAA and an .883 save percentage through 13 outings this season. Rittich is still the No. 1 for the Kings until Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) is cleared to return from injured reserve.

Set to guard cage verus Sharks Rittich is slated to start on the road against San Jose on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Rittich has given up just one goal in each of his last four appearances but unfortunately is sitting with a 2-2-0 record. In his previous clash with the Sharks this year, the Czechia native secured the victory after stopping 24 of 26 shots at home Oct. 24. With Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) still on the shelf, Rittich figures to continue carrying the load for the Kings.

Sharp in seventh win Rittich stopped 19 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact The 32-year-old netminder nearly recorded his first shutout of the season, but a Brandon Montour blast through traffic with less than two minutes left in the third period snuck past Rittich. He's started three straight games with Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) sidelined and allowed only one goal in each, but with the Kings having called up Pheonix Copley to be his backup to replace the unproved Erik Portillo, Rittich could get a breather as soon as Monday in San Jose.

Impact Rittich has a 1.43 GAA and a .935 save percentage across his past five appearances. He has a 6-5-0 record, 2.37 GAA and .897 save percentage across 11 outings overall. Seattle ranks 18th offensively with 2.85 goals per game.

Good game not enough Rittich stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Rittich was good while facing a light workload, but Jason Zucker's power-play tally early in the third period was the difference. Rittich has allowed one goal or fewer in four of his last five appearances (four starts), but he's taken two losses in that span. The 32-year-old slipped to 6-5-0 through 11 appearances while adding a 2.37 GAA and an .897 save percentage this season. Rittich will continue to see a heavy workload until Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) can return from injured reserve.

Set to start Wednesday Rittich is slated to start at home against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.

Impact Rittich has a 6-4-0 record, 2.51 GAA and .892 save percentage in 10 appearances in 2024-25. He's coming off a 4-1 victory over Detroit on Saturday in which he stopped 17 of 18 shots. The Sabres rank 11th offensively with 3.33 goals per game.

Cruises to win Saturday Rittich stopped 17 of 18 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Rittich came within 1:27 of a shutout, but it was still a good performance for him. The 32-year-old has won three of his last four outings, the one exception being a loss in relief of Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) on Wednesday. Rittich went 3-2-0 in his previous turn as a starter when Kuemper was hurt in October. For the season, Rittich is 6-4-0 with a 2.52 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 10 contests. The Kings' system should help with shot suppression -- he's faced 30 shots in just one of his games this year. The Kings are at home versus the Sabres on Wednesday in their next contest.
