• Flames' David Rittich: Knocked off by Golden Knights

  03/09/2020 •

  Rittich was beaten four times on 31 shots during Sunday's 5-3 home loss to the Golden Knights. Rittich and the Flames trailed 3-0 early but tied the game in the third period only to lose on Shea Theodore's 12th goal of the season. He's now dropped his last three starts, so Cam Talbot could very well get the nod when Calgary plays its next game Thursday against the Islanders.

• Flames' David Rittich: Tough day in Tampa

  03/01/2020 •

  Rittich made 29 saves in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning. The 27-year-old netminder may have lost his focus after Tampa's first two goals both came on deflections while the Flames were shorthanded, giving Rittich little chance at either. He wraps up a shaky February having allowed at least four goals in half of his 10 outings while posting a 4-4-1 record with a 3.65 GAA and .887 save percentage.

• Flames' David Rittich: Eludes victory Thursday

  02/28/2020 •

  Rittich gave up four goals on 38 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators on Thursday. A late goal by Andrew Mangiapane put the Flames ahead, but Rittich leaked a last-second tally to Mikael Granlund to force overtime. In the extra period, Granlund victimized Rittich again, setting the Czech netminder with a defeat. The 27-year-old slipped to 24-15-6 with a 2.92 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 46 starts. He's been solid on the Flames' current road trip -- expect Rittich to split a weekend back-to-back versus the Lightning and Panthers with Cam Talbot.
