David Rittich Gets Start On Sunday
6 years agoCalgary Flames goaltender David Rittich will get the nod in net versus the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. The 26-year-old got pulled after the first period in his last start against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, giving up three goals on just 14 shots. The Flames' backup goaltender has been excellent in 12 starts this season, picking up eight wins while posting a 2.39 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage. With fellow netminder Mike Smith beginning to find his game as of late, Rittich will need a strong performance on Sunday to continue getting starts.
