David Rittich News

Rittich has taken a backseat to Cam Talbot recently, serving as his backup in six straight, but will likely return to the crease on Monday in the Kings' first game since a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Saturday. Rittich has played well when called upon this season, posting a 2.32 GAA and .914 SV% in 18 games (9-4-3) but allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings enter action as -148 home favourites against the New York Islanders.

Rittich will return to the Kings' crease for the third straight game on Monday. The Czech netminder has been terrific for the Kings this season, posting a 2.21 GAA and .917 SV% in 17 games (9-3-3), including saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in his last outing, a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. The Kings enter action as +138 road underdogs against the Edmonton Oilers.

The Kings will turn back to Rittich after Cam Talbot got the nod in each of the team's last two games. Rittich secured a victory his last time out, allowing four goals on 32 shots as Los Angeles held on to defeat the Bruins by a score of 5-4. Rittich owns an impressive .919 SV% and 2.25 GAA on the season to go along with his 8-2-3 record. He draws a solid matchup on Thursday, with the Kings being -160 favourites to pick up the win over the visiting Predators.

Despite being pulled after giving up five goals on just 17 shots in Tuesday's 7-0 thrashing at the hands of the Sabres, Rittich will be back between the pipes for the Kings on Thursday. This might be the strongest indication that it really is Rittich's starting job at this point, though to be fair, Cam Talbot didn't fare much better on Tuesday. Rittich owns a 6-2-3 record on the season to go along with a .919 SV% and a 2.23 GAA. He and the Kings have even odds to pick up the win in New Jersey on Thursday.

Rittich will continue his reign over the Kings' crease and start his fourth straight game on Tuesday evening. The Czech netminder is riding a two-game winning streak and is coming off a tremendous performance in his last outing, saving all 26 shots he faced in a 4-0 shutout victory over the typically high-scoring Edmonton Oilers. The Kings are -131 road favourites against a Buffalo Sabres club that has scored only two goals in their last two games (0-2-0).

Rittich will start for the second straight game as the reeling Kings look for a solution to their losing woes. The Kings have lost 14 of their last 16 (2-9-5), and their only two wins have come with Rittich between the pipes. Rittich has played well for the Kings, allowing three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings (2-1-2), posting a respectable .916 SV%. The Kings are -115 road favourites against a Nashville Predators team riding a two-game losing skid.

Rittich has earned himself a third straight start, and fourth in the last five games, in a favourable matchup against the San Jose Sharks on Monday. Rittich has been a bright spot during a poor stretch for the Kings, going 3-1-1 with a .937 SV% and being responsible for the Kings' only three victories in the last 14 games (3-7-4). Despite their poor play lately, the Kings are sizeable -387 home favourites against a Sharks club that is 2-7-1 in their last 10.

The Kings will likely return to Rittich between the pipes for the second time in the last three games after he helped end their eight-game losing streak. Rittich is responsible for the Kings' only two victories during a horrid 2-5-4 stretch. Rittich has been limited to only five appearances this season (3-0-1) but has played well when called upon, posting a stellar 1.61 GAA and .932 SV%. Despite their struggles, the Kings are -139 home favourites against the Nashville Predators, who are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
