Rittich set aside 18 of 21 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Rittich wasn't all that sharp, allowing a goal in each period. Noah Dobson's tally 5:08 into the third put New York up 3-2, but Rittich's teammates bailed the backup goalie out with a pair of unanswered goals after that point, including Eeli Tolvanen's game-winner with 12 seconds remaining. Rittich has a 3-1-0 record, but he's posted a sub-.900 save percentage in each of his last three outings en route to a 3.10 GAA and .880 save percentage overall.
