6 years agoCalgary Flames goaltender David Rittich will be in net against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night. Rittich was smacked for four goals on 32 shots during a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on December 20. The Czech netminder has been a pillar of strength for the Flames this season with an 11-4-2 record to go along with a 2.29 goals-against average and .923 save percentage. With that in mind, Rittich does not have a great situation heading into Thursday's game. The Jets have a 13-4-2 record on home ice this season and sit fourth in the league in goals per game (3.53). Rittich is a risky option for Thursday, but can be started if fantasy managers are desperate. --Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
