Great news, and a well-earned opportunity for Rittich. I was hoping they'd give him a stretch soon to reward him, see what he's really got and give Smith a breather.
Looks like a great opportunity here, and hopefully Smith won't be in any rush to come back. The Bruins, Preds, Panthers, and Golden Knights are all teams Rittich is more than capable of handling, and Gillies/Parsons should be able to handle the Coyotes which would take us to the 22nd. Hopefully enough time to rest there.
