Rittich stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators. - Rittich made a brief relief appearance Friday versus the Ducks, stopping two shots. That didn't impact his readiness to start Saturday, and he turned in a solid effort in another light workload. He hasn't faced more than 21 shots in any of his last six starts, and this was just the second time in that span he allowed multiple goals. He's now at a 9-6-0 record with a 2.48 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 16 appearances (14 starts). Rittich's save percentage is unlikely to go up much with such low shot totals directed at him, but he can stabilize a fantasy team's GAA while offering a good chance at wins. The Kings' next game is a tough one at home versus the Stars on Wednesday. |

He limited the competition to one goal in four of five starts from Nov. 16-27, but there was a disastrous 7-2 loss to San Jose during that stretch, where he stopped just 14 of 21 shots. The Senators rank 14th in the league with 3.18 goals per game. |

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

Rittich stopped 14 of 21 shots in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Sharks. - 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. |

Rittich is slated to start on the road against San Jose on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Rittich has given up just one goal in each of his last four appearances (three starts) but he unfortunately took a 2-2-0 record in that span. In his previous two outings against the Sharks this year, the Czechia native has gone 1-1-0 with five goals allowed on 46 shots. With Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) still on the shelf, Rittich figures to continue carrying the load for the Kings. |

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

Rittich will protect the home goal versus the Red Wings on Saturday, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports. - Rittich starting shouldn't come as a surprise -- he'll likely see a heavy workload while Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) is on injured reserve. Rittich took the loss in relief versus the Avalanche on Wednesday, but he won his previous two starts. Erik Portillo will serve as Rittich's backup, and considering the Kings don't have a back-to-back until after American Thanksgiving, Rittich may be in line for a significant run of starts. |

| Nov. 13, 2024 |
Rittich allowed a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche, who also scored an empty-netter. - Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) left the game in the third period with the game tied at 2-2. Rittich entered and gave up the second goal of Mikko Rantanen's hat trick, which ended up being the decisive tally. Rittich is down to 5-4-0 with a 2.71 GAA and an .887 save percentage through nine appearances (eight starts) this season. The 32-year-old would likely take over as the starting goalie if Kuemper misses time, while Pheonix Copley would be a candidate to be promoted from AHL Ontario. |

Rittich stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild. - The 32-year-old netminder gave up a goal midway through the second period, but he simply needed to keep Minnesota at bay the rest of the way since the Kings scored five unanswered goals to seal the win. Rittich has made seven appearances this season, and while his results have been a bit inconsistent, his 2.77 GAA is decent. He's also gone 4-3-0 with an .884 save percentage, and that latter figure could use an improvement to give the Kings a bigger sense of security between the pipes every time Darcy Kuemper is not starting. |

The 32-year-old netminder has gone 3-2-0 with a 3.09 GAA and an .874 save percentage over five outings this season. The Sharks have scored 23 times over 10 contests, so this is a good matchup for Rittich. |

Rittich was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he will get the home start versus San Jose on Thursday. - Rittich has been hot and cold this season, giving up 10 goals on 44 shots in two losses, and two goals on 41 shots in his two wins. He has taken over the No. 1 job with the Kings as Darcy Kuemper remains out of action with a lower-body injury. Rittich should have his best matchup of the season as he will face the Sharks, who are 0-5-2 while scoring a league-low 13 goals. |

Rittich stopped 24 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights. - Rittich had allowed just one goal in each of his previous two starts, but the Golden Knights put up a much better effort than the Ducks or the Canadiens. The 32-year-old netminder continues to fill in as the Kings' top goalie while Darcy Kuemper (lower body) is sidelined. The Kings' seven-game road trip is now in the books, and they'll have their home opener Thursday versus the Sharks, making Rittich an attractive streaming option should he start that game. |

Rittich gave up four goals on 14 shots before being removed from Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs midway through the second period. - Rittich gave up three goals in the first period, and by the time Morgan Rielly made it 4-0, the Kings had seen enough and replaced Rittich with Pheonix Copley, who gave up two more goals the rest of the way. Darcy Kuemper (lower body) is considered day-to-day and might not be available to start against the Canadiens on Thursday, and if that's the case, then it's unclear whether the Kings will give Rittich another chance, or if they'll decide to go with Copley instead. This was Rittich's first appearance of the 2024-25 campaign after going 13-6-3 with a 2.15 GAA and a .921 save percentage across 24 regular-season outings in 2023-24. |

Rittich made 24 appearances in the NHL last year and logged a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage. Pheonix Copley will serve as the backup goaltender Wednesday and could draw the start in Thursday's road game against Montreal if Rittich doesn't start in both ends of the back-to-back. |

Rittich signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Kings on Wednesday. - Rittich had a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2023-24. He also stopped 34 of 39 shots (.872 save percentage) across two playoff outings this year. Rittich would have become an unrestricted free agent this summer if he didn't sign this extension. Cam Talbot, who logged 54 regular-season games with LA, remains set to become a UFA, so it's unclear who Rittich's goaltending partner will be next year. Although the 31-year-old Rittich is coming off a strong campaign, he has spent most of his career as a backup goaltender, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Kings seek to pair him with an established starter. |

Rittich was solid in the regular season, going 13-6-3 with a .921 save percentage. As a pending free agent, Rittich could seek out a starting role prior to the 2024-25 campaign. |

Edmonton has a potent offense, which ranked fourth in the 2023-24 campaign with 3.56 goals per game, so the Oilers will probably fire considerably more shots in the upcoming tilt. Rittich had a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season contests. |

Rittich is now 10-5-3 on the season with a .916 save percentage and a 2.29 GAA, as he's returned to a backup role behind Cam Talbot. Rittich should get another start early next week, however, with the Kings hosting Chicago and Minnesota on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. |

This was Rittich's fifth win in his past seven games dating back to Jan. 31.

Rittich stopped 12 of 17 shots before being replaced by Cam Talbot to begin the third period of Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Sabres. - Neither goalie carries too much blame for the final result, as the Kings showed little jump from the opening faceoff. Rittich was coming off a shutout of the Oilers, so his hold on the starting job likely isn't in much jeopardy -- over the last month, the 31-year-old netminder sports a 4-2-2 record in 10 appearances with a 2.43 GAA and .917 save percentage. |

For the year, Rittich has a 4-1-2 record with a 1.86 GAA and a .927 save percentage over nine appearances. He's likely not the long-term answer in goal for the Kings, but he's done well enough lately to take over the No. 1 role. |

Rittich turned aside 24 of 27 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose on Monday. - Rittich was beaten on shootout attempts by Logan Couture and Fabian Zetterlund, which cost the Kings the extra point. The 31-year-old netminder had been doing well leading up to this game, saving 86 of 91 shots (.945 save percentage) over his previous four contests. Even after this setback, Rittich's 4-1-2 record, 1.76 GAA and .931 save percentage across eight contests overall makes him a strong option for LA, especially with Cam Talbot struggling with a 4.20 GAA and an .874 save percentage over his last five appearances. |

Rittich will patrol the blue paint at home versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Rittich won his only appearance of the season Dec. 19 against the Sharks, stopping 15 of 16 shots en route to a 4-1 victory. With Pheonix Copley (undisclosed) set for a long-term absence, Rittich should get a handful of starts going forward, though he is unlikely to replace Cam Talbot as the preferred option between the pipes. Rittich taking the first game of the back-to-back figures to see Talbot get the nod against Vegas on Thursday. |

Rittich was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports, indicating he will defend the road net Tuesday against San Jose. - Rittich is poised to make his LA debut in the first half of a back-to-back, which probably means Cam Talbot will play Wednesday versus Seattle. In 21 games last season with Winnipeg, Rittich posted a 9-8-1 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .901 save percentage. The Sharks sit 32nd in the league with 2.13 goals per contest this campaign. |

Rittich was summoned from AHL Ontario on Friday. - Rittich has a 2.63 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 16 contests with Ontario this season. He's been promoted to LA because Pheonix Copley sustained an undisclosed injury during Friday's practice.

Rittich was put on waivers Tuesday, per PuckPedia. - Rittich posted a 9-8-1 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 21 appearances with Winnipeg last season. The Kings still have netminders Cam Talbot and Pheonix Copley on the roster, so Rittich could head to AHL Ontario if he isn't claimed by another team. |

His last appearance of the campaign was April 13 because of his ankle injury. Provided Rittich is healthy, he should have an opportunity to compete for the Kings' backup job out of training camp. |

Rittich (ankle) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Vegas, according to John Lu of TSN. - Rittich traveled with the Jets to Vegas, but he isn't ready to return.

Rittich (lower body) made the trip to Vegas ahead of Thursday's Game 5 versus the Golden Knights, but his status for that contest remains up in the air, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports. - It remains to be seen if Rittich will be available for Thursday's contest, but either way, barring an injury, Connor Hellebuyck will almost certainly remain the Jets' starter throughout the playoffs. If Rittich is unable to go in Game 5, look for Arvid Holm or Oskari Salminen to serve as the backup. |
None |
| April 24, 2023 |
Rittich is slated to miss Game 4 against the Golden Knights on Monday due to a lower-body issue, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports. - Rittich wasn't going to start regardless, so his absence from the lineup is unlikely to impact the Jets or fantasy players. Without the 30-year-old backstop, Arvid Holm was recalled from AHL Manitoba to serve as the backup to Connor Hellebuyck. |

Rittich will defend the visiting crease versus Colorado on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports. - Rittich will get the start in the Jets' final game of the regular season, giving Connor Hellebuyck the night off before the start of the playoffs. Rittich last started Mar. 14 versus Carolina, and he enters the game with a 9-7-1 record. Rittich has a 2.66 GAA and .902 save percentage this season. He takes on the Avalanche, who are 11th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.33 goals per contest. |

Rittich stopped 20 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Carolina. - Carolina's final goal was scored into an empty net. The Jets never led in the game, as the 'Canes struck early in the first period and never looked back. Rittich hasn't won a game in a month, going 0-3-1 over his last six appearances with a 3.05 GAA and .876 save percentage, and while Connor Hellebuyck has been shaky himself in recent weeks, his backup isn't putting any pressure on him for playing time. |

Rittich will defend the road net Tuesday against Carolina, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports. - Rittich has a 9-6-1 record this season with a 2.57 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 19 appearances. He made 24 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes on Nov. 21. Rittich's start will give Connor Hellebuyck a bit of a breather after the latter played in back-to-back games over the weekend. Carolina sits 12th in the league this year with 3.28 goals per game. |

Rittich stopped 21 of 24 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose on Monday. - Connor Hellebuyck posted a 5.12 GAA and an .854 save percentage over three contests from Feb. 28-March 4, and that was the backdrop for Rittich's first start since Feb. 26. The 30-year-old goaltender at least had a better showing than Hellebuyck's recent outings, but it still didn't end well for the Jets. Rittich has a 9-6-1 record, 2.57 GAA and .906 save percentage in 19 contests this season. He hasn't earned a win over his last five outings and has allowed 10 goals on 89 shots over that span. |

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

Rittich will face the Islanders at home Sunday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports. - The 30-year-old netminder stopped all 10 shots he faced Friday against Colorado after Connor Hellebuyck was pulled.

Rittich stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Connor Hellebuyck in the third period of Friday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche. - After an electric first period, things settled down, though the lopsided score prompted a goalie change from head coach Rick Bowness for the third period. Rittich did his job well Friday, and he's allowed just 12 goals over seven appearances (five starts) since the start of January. The 30-year-old is at 9-5-0 with a 2.43 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 16 outings overall. He's showing he can be trusted in some more favorable matchups, which makes him a viable streaming option for fantasy. |

Per Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet, Rittich was the first goaltender off the ice at practice Thursday, indicating he will get the visiting crease against Columbus. - This will be Rittich's second start in a row as the Jets are giving Connor Hellebuyck extra time to recover from his illness. Rittich has been a strong backup for the Jets this season, going 9-4-0 with a 2.52 GAA and .911 save percentage. 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. |

Rittich will start Tuesday's home game against Seattle, John Lu of TSN reports. - Rittich has a record of 8-4-0 this season with a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 13 appearances. The Kraken rank fifth in the league this campaign with 3.49 goals per game. Connor Hellebuyck is out due to an illness, so Arvid Holm will suit up as the backup goalie. |

Rittich made 35 saves during a 5-1 victory over the visiting Senators on Tuesday. - Rittich, who drew the nod with Connor Hellebuyck suffering from a non-COVID illness, earned consecutive starts for the first time this season. Coming off a 31-save loss to the Kraken on Sunday, Rittich rebounded to help the Jets secure their third win in four outings. With the Jets facing back-to-back road games against the Bruins on Thursday and Capitals on Friday, Rittich (5-3-0) could get additional work over emergency backup Arvid Holm if Hellebuyck is unable to dress. |
None |

Rittich will be in the crease for Sunday's road game versus Seattle, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports. - Rittich made 22 saves in a 3-1 win over Chicago on Dec. 9 during his last appearance. He has a 4-2-0 record this season with a 2.72 GAA and an .893 save percentage. Rittich will get the second half of Winnipeg's back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck played in Saturday's 5-1 win against Vancouver. |
None |
| Dec. 10, 2022 |
Rittich made 22 saves during Friday's 3-1 victory over the host Blackhawks. - Rittich, who made his first start since Dec. 2, is taking advantage of the limited ice time he receives. The 30-year-old backup netminder surrendered three goals or fewer for the fourth time in six starts, backing the Jets to their fourth straight victory. Rittich, who improved to 4-2-0, posted a season-best .957 save percentage Friday. |
None |

Rittich will get the starting nod in Chicago on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports. - Rittich yielded four goals on 26 shots in a loss against Columbus on Dec. 2. The 30-year-old is now 3-2-0 with a pedestrian 3.07 GAA and .881 save percentage. He'll continue to get little work as Connor Hellebuyck's primary backup. |
None |

Rittich will be between the home pipes against Columbus on Friday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports. - Rittich has won his last three starts, giving up seven goals on 69 shots as he has not seen a lot of action in the last five weeks. He is 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and an .890 save percentage in his first season with the Jets. He will face the Blue Jackets, who have scored only 60 goals in 21 games this season, but get back Patrik Laine from an ankle injury which sidelined him the last seven games. |
None |

Rittich is set to defend the cage at home versus Carolina on Monday, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports. - Rittich will be making just his fourth appearance in the crease this season and figures to be one of the least utilized backups in the NHL this year. The 30-year-old netminder's lack of starts isn't due to his performance but rather Connor Hellebuyck being a workhorse goalie that wants to play as much as possible. |
None |
| Nov. 13, 2022 |
Rittich will get the starting nod in Seattle on Sunday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports. - Rittich will make his third appearance of the year for Winnipeg. He's allowed six goals on 52 shots in two outings so far, going 1-1-0 in the process. Rittich has yet to make a start at home this season and he posted an .898 save percentage on the road during the 2021-22 campaign. |
None |
| Oct. 28, 2022 |
Rittich is expected to get the road start against Arizona on Friday. - Rittich will make his second start of the season as the Jets are playing the second game of back-to-back contests. Rittich gave up four goals on 31 shots in a 5-2 loss to Vegas as he saw his only action in the second game of back-to-back games. He will face the Coyotes who should be full of energy as they have their first ever game in the 5,000 seat Mullett Arena in Tempe. |
None |
| Oct. 20, 2022 |
Rittich is expected to start Thursday against Vegas, per Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun. - Rittich is preparing for his first start of the season. He struggled with Nashville in 2021-22, posting a 6-3-4 record, 3.57 GAA, and .896 save percentage in 17 contests. As long as Connor Hellebuyck is healthy, Rittich will likely be used sparingly. Unfortunately, his first opportunity of the season will be a difficult one. Vegas has a great offense and is off to an impressive 3-1-0 start. |

Rittich is expected to start between the pipes in Wednesday's home preseason game versus the Flames, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports. - At this point it isn't clear if Rittich will play the entirety of Wednesday night's exhibition game. The 30-year-old netminder was decent in his last preseason appearance Thursday against Montreal, stopping nine of the 10 shots he faced through two periods. Rittich is expected to enter the season as Winnipeg's No. 2 netminder behind Connor Hellebuyck. |
None |
| Sept. 29, 2022 |
Rittich is slated to start and play two periods against the Canadiens on the road Thursday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports. - Rittich isn't exactly coming into Winnipeg on a high note after posting a career-worst 3.57 GAA in 17 appearances for the Predators last season. The 30-year-old netminder certainly shouldn't expect to see much in the way of starts behind workhorse Connor Hellebuyck who has played in the most games of any NHL netminder over the last three seasons. |
None |
| May 3, 2022 |
Rittich will get the starting nod on the road against Colorado for Game 1 on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Rittich will continue to deputize in goal for the Predators while Juuse Saros (lower body) remains sidelined for at least the first two games of the postseason. In his last five appearances, the Czech netminder went 1-0-2 with a disastrous 4.82 GAA and .875 save percentage. Unless Rittich can find another level to his game, Nashville might be too far behind in the series by the time Saros is cleared to play. |
None |
| April 28, 2022 |
Rittich stopped 42 of 46 shots in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Avalanche. - The Predators battled back from an early deficit, and Rittich got better as the game went on. He made all three saves in the shootout to secure the win, his first since March 13. The 29-year-old is up to 6-3-4 with a 3.57 GAA and an .886 save percentage in 17 outings. Juuse Saros (lower body) may not be available to start the playoffs, so it's looking like Rittich could be the Predators' primary goalie going forward. Connor Ingram is expected to start Friday's regular-season finale versus the Coyotes. |
None |
| April 24, 2022 |
Rittich will get the starting nod Sunday at home against the Wild. - Rittich stopped all nine shots he faced in relief of Juuse Saros during Saturday's loss to the Lightning. The 29-year-old is 5-3-2 with a 3.33 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 14 games this season. He stopped 26 of 28 shots in a March 13 win over Minnesota. |
None |

Rittich was perfect in relief after taking the Predators' net at 2:08 of the third period Saturday. He made nine saves. - Rittich was solid in relief of starter Juuse Saros. He is 5-3-2 with a 3.33 GAA and .886 save percentage. The Preds are four points up on Vegas for the final Wild Card spot with four games remaining, and the team will likely rely heavily on Saros, not Rittich, to ensure that gap doesn't close. |
None |
| April 17, 2022 |
Rittich allowed four goals on 13 shots after replacing Juuse Saros in the second period of Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Blues. - Saros was pulled after giving up a goal late in the first and three more in the first half of the second period. Rittich couldn't stop the bleeding, allowing four more Blues goals before the second intermission. It's not much of a silver lining for Rittich, but at least he wasn't stuck with the loss since the Predators failed to score four goals of their own, leaving Saros as the goalie of record. |
None |
| April 11, 2022 |
Rittich turned aside 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins. - The two teams traded goals in the first and third periods but Rittich had no chance on the eventual OT winner, as with the Predators defense in scramble mode Sidney Crosby tapped home a feed from Rickard Rakell. The former Flames netminder hadn't seen action since March 22 and has a shaky 3.21 GAA and .891 save percentage on the season, but if Juuse Saros' illness keeps him sidelined beyond Sunday, Rittich could be right back between the pipes Tuesday against the Sharks. |
None |
| April 10, 2022 |
Rittich will get the starting nod in Pittsburgh on Sunday. - Juuse Saros (illness) allowed two goals in Saturday's loss to Florida and will miss Sunday's tilt with the Penguins. Rittich will make his first appearance since March 22 when he was tagged with five goals on 34 shots against the Kings. He's 5-3-1 with a 3.24 GAA through 11 games this season. If Saros misses any additional time, Rittich and Connor Ingram will handle Nashville's goaltending duties. |
None |
| March 22, 2022 |
Rittich will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Kings. - Rittich will make just his 11th appearance of the season Tuesday. He's 5-2-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .895 save percentage, and he'll have the perk of facing a Kings team dealing with a high number of injuries. |
None |
| March 21, 2022 |
Rittich saved the only shot he faced in Monday's 6-3 win over the Ducks. - Juuse Saros had an apparent equipment issue in the third period, forcing Rittich to briefly enter the game for 44 seconds. The 29-year-old Rittich filled in well and then returned to the bench, but he'll likely get the start in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday versus the Kings, though the Predators have yet to officially name a starter for that contest. |
None |
| March 14, 2022 |
Rittich made 26 saves in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Wild. - The two teams traded goals until midway through the second period, at which point Nashville pulled away while Rittich shut the door. The former Flame continues to see little work behind Juuse Saros, but on the season Rittich is 5-2-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .894 save percentage. |
None |
| March 13, 2022 |
Rittich will patrol the crease for Sunday's game in Minnesota. - Rittich will make his first appearance since allowing four goals on 48 shots in a Feb. 22 win over the Panthers. The 29-year-old has played just eight games this season, going 4-2-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .890 save percentage. His starts will continue to be sparse behind workhorse Juuse Saros. |
None |
| Feb. 23, 2022 |
Rittich made 44 saves in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Panthers. - Rittich performed admirably despite facing a barrage of shots, buying the Predators enough time to erase a 3-1 deficit in the second period and come back from 4-3 down in the third. Juuse Saros has lost four consecutive starts, opening the door for Rittich to seize more playing time, and Rittich put forth a convincing case here in just his second start of 2022. |
None |
| Feb. 22, 2022 |
Rittich will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Panthers. - Rittich's first start in over a month will be against one of the league's best teams in the Panthers, who are 23-3-0 in their own barn. The 29-year-old last played Jan. 18 versus the Canucks, allowing three goals on 24 shots in a loss. This is a tough matchup for Rittich, so he can probably be avoided in DFS contests. |
None |
| Jan. 18, 2022 |
Rittich made 21 saves on 24 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Canucks on Tuesday. - Rittich had been riding the bench for the past eight games while Juuse Saros minded the net for Nashville, and this performance may not invoke much confidence in the backup. The 29-year-old has not done especially well when he has been called upon this season, which has been infrequently. Since Nov. 11 against St. Louis, Rittich has made just seven appearances in Nashville's 28 contests during that span. |
None |
| Dec. 30, 2021 |
Rittich will start Thursday's road game versus the Blue Jackets. - Rittich has won his last two starts, but he hasn't played since Dec. 9. The 29-year-old is 3-1-0 with a 3.10 GAA and an .880 save percentage in five outings overall this season. The Blue Jackets aren't a particularly challenging opponent, but Rittich is still a bit tough to trust in fantasy given his limited playing time. |
None |
| Dec. 10, 2021 |
Rittich set aside 18 of 21 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Islanders. - Rittich wasn't all that sharp, allowing a goal in each period. Noah Dobson's tally 5:08 into the third put New York up 3-2, but Rittich's teammates bailed the backup goalie out with a pair of unanswered goals after that point, including Eeli Tolvanen's game-winner with 12 seconds remaining. Rittich has a 3-1-0 record, but he's posted a sub-.900 save percentage in each of his last three outings en route to a 3.10 GAA and .880 save percentage overall. |
None |
| Dec. 9, 2021 |
Rittich will protect the road goal Thursday versus the Islanders, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports. - Rittich will make a second straight start with Juuse Saros (illness) not ready to return. The 29-year-old Rittich was lightly tested in a 5-2 win over the Red Wings on Tuesday, so he'll carry a little momentum into Thursday's contest. The Islanders snapped their 11-game losing streak versus the Senators last time out. |
None |
| Dec. 8, 2021 |
Rittich made 14 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings. - The Preds out-shot their opposition by a 2-to-1 ratio on the night, leaving Rittich with little to do to secure his second win of the season. His 3.13 GAA and .885 save percentage in limited action aren't impressive, but he could see another start or two this week while Juuse Saros (illness) is under the weather. |
None |
| Dec. 7, 2021 |
Rittich will get the starting nod for Tuesday's game in Detroit. - With Juuse Saros (illness) not available Tuesday, Rittich will make his first appearance since coughing up six goals on 35 shots in a Nov. 27 loss to Colorado. On the year, he owns an .888 save percentage in just three outings. The 29-year-old could start against the Islanders on Thursday as well if Saros is still out. |
None |
| Nov. 27, 2021 |
Rittich will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Avalanche. - Rittich is set to make his third appearance and second start of the season. He's allowed three goals on 45 shots for a solid .933 save percentage so far, though facing the Avalanche's high-powered offense will be his biggest challenge yet in 2021-22. |
None |
| Nov. 21, 2021 |
Rittich stopped all nine shots that came his way upon relieving Juuse Saros in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens. - Rittich entered the game in the second period after Saros surrendered his fifth goal on 19 shots. Still, Predators coach John Hynes defended his starting goalie's performance. "It wasn't necessarily where [Saros] was bad," Hynes said in a report by NHL.com. "Montreal scored, and we had a couple of deflections, one hits a skate, a backdoor tap-in on the penalty kill, so it's not really the goalie's fault. It's more like he's got to get out of there and bring 'Ritter' in." Rittich had been in COVID-19 protocols before eking out a win over the Blues in his Preds debut Nov. 11; he's stopped 42 of 45 shots through two appearances of 2021-22. |

Rittich will protect the road goal in Thursday's game versus the Blues, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Playing the second half of a back-to-back, Rittich will make his Predators debut. He spend time in the COVID-19 protocols earlier in the season, and the strong play of Juuse Saros has left Rittich with few opportunities to see the ice. The 29-year-old Rittich went 5-8-2 with one shutout in 19 appearances between the Flames and the Maple Leafs last year. |
None |
| Nov. 4, 2021 |
Rittich was activated from the COVID-19 protocols list Thursday, Paul Skrbina of The Tennessean reports. - Rittich has yet to make his Predators debut after beginning the season on the COVID-19 list. The 29-year-old posted a .901 save percentage and a 2.86 GAA in 19 appearances with Calgary and Toronto last season. Rittich should make his season debut sometime in the next week as the Predators have back-to-back games scheduled on Nov. 10 and 11. |

Rittich (not injury related) remains out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Oilers, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Rittich continues to practice, but he is not yet ready to return from a stint in the COVID-19 protocols.
