David Rittich Comes Up Just Short In Montreal
6 years agoCalgary Flames goaltender David Rittich allowed three goals on 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 road loss against the Montreal Canadiens. Two of the goals Rittich let in were of the power-play variety, and assistant captain Matthew Tkachuk had his goaltender's back. "We leave our goalie out to dry for the whole game. I mean, he's not God in there. You can't stop everything. At one point, they're going to go in," Tkachuk said. Rittich was making his second straight start, and he has allowed just four goals on 85 shots. If he keeps playing well he could chop into Mike Smith's playing time.
