Good goaltending, solid defence, goals from up and down the lineup. What’s not to love?
What a start for David Rittich
So, that wasn’t the first game of David Rittich’s NHL career. That actually came last season, in a meaningless Game 82 against the Sharks, in which the Flames let him have the final period to play because, well, the game was meaningless. He gave up one goal on 10 shots while getting his feet wet.
I honestly don’t remember how he actually looked in that game, but in this one, he looked pretty much perfect.
