4 years agoCalgary Flames goaltender David Rittich will post a sixth consecutive start in Thursday's matchup against Ottawa. Jacob Markstrom (upper body) has been close to returning but still isn't ready. Rittich started his stint as the temporary No. 1 with a 34-save shutout against Toronto, but he has lost three of four starts since then, including on Monday against the Senators, when he allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 5-1 loss. Rittich's record stands at 2-5-1 for the season and carries a 2.92 goals-against average with a .903 save percentage. Vegas has the Flames as a big favorite for the clash, but it was the same on Monday and the Senators have done well lately, so starting Rittich will be a risk--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
