2018 Fantasy Outlook

Heading into the 2018-19 season, Rittich has a strong chance to win the backup job as the primary backup to Mike Smith in Calgary. While American prospect Jon Gillies figures to compete with Rittich for the No. 2 spot, the Czech-born netminder does have a slight leg up, possessing more NHL experience than his main competitor. A stocky goalie who takes up a lot of real estate in the cage at 6-foot-3, 202 pounds, Rittich appeared in 21 games with the Flames last season, recording a 2.92 GAA and .904 save percentage before an arbiter awarded him a one-year, $800,000 deal this offseason. Whether Rittich spends more of his time with the NHL or AHL team, he's unlikely to get enough starts to warrant much fantasy attention, especially if Mike Smith stays healthy. Read Past Outlooks

Rittich saved 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime road win over the Avalanche.

ANALYSIS
Rittich yielded both goals in the first period, but the Flames would rally back with three unanswered tallies, including Johnny Gaudreau's dagger in the overtime sequence. Rittich edged out Jon Gillies for the right to be the primary backup behind Mike Smith -- so far, so good on that front.
