Rittich made 18 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Rittich will also go down in the history books as the goalie who allowed two goals to Auston Matthews, who became the leading goal scorer in Toronto Maple Leafs history. Ilya Sorokin (lower body) backed Rittich up and could take control of the Islanders' crease again. Still, Rittich has performed admirably as the No. 1, going 4-2-1 with one shutout. Even though his role will likely decrease, he will remain a solid spot starter.
