The Calgary Flames have almost completed the first month of their season. Through 14 games, two things have become readily apparent: goaltending isn’t an issue for the team, and man David Rittich has played an awful lot of hockey. In this wacky Thursday edition of What Would You Do Wednesday, we ask: just how should the Flames be balancing the workloads of their two goalies right now?
As of Wednesday morning, Rittich had played 650 minutes and 36 seconds in goal. That’s the second-most in the entire NHL. He’s started 11 of Calgary’s 14 games, tied with Vegas’ Marc-Andre Fleury and Anaheim’s John Gibson for the league lead.
