Islanders' David Rittich: Starting versus Ducks

Rittich will guard the home goal versus the Ducks on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Rittich will make his second start in three games. The Ducks are an intimidating opponent, having scored 19 goals over their last five contests while going 4-1-0 in that span. With Rittich making this start, Ilya Sorokin should be expected to face the Lightning on Saturday.
