David Rittich Makes Another Start Thursday
2 years agoWinnipeg Jets goaltender David Rittich will receive a second consecutive start Thursday versus Columbus. He filled in for Connor Hellebuyck Tuesday when the Jets No. 1 wasn't feeling well, and even with Hellebuyck now healthy again, Rittich will get another opportunity against the Blue Jackets. He beat Seattle 3-2 in a shootout with 27 saves Tuesday to improve his record to 9-4-0. It's been a good season for Rittich in Winnipeg, as he has given up 2.52 goals per game with a .911 save percentage. Columbus has the second-worst scoring record in the league, which means that Rittich has a very good chance to get to double figures in wins Thursday.
