3 years agoNashville Predators goaltender David Rittich will log only his fifth start of the campaign on Thursday against Columbus. The Predators have been riding Juuse Saros hard all season, but they are finishing off a back-to-back set here and it's given Rittich an opportunity to make an impact. He's won both of his last two starts, improving to 3-1-0 for the season. Rittich has allowed 3.10 goals per game with a .880 save percentage ahead of Thursday's action. Columbus has done well at home, but Nashville has been hot lately, so Rittich's chances of a third consecutive victory seem pretty decent.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
