I do hope Rittich can bounce back in the next few starts, currently his GAA has dropped to 3.03 (0.902 SV%).

Gillies still an enigma and may not live up to the hype 4-5 years ago nor amount to anything more than a career AHL starter.

Mason McDonald is pretty much a writeoff. We have seen the likes of Irving, Ortio, etc careers vanished.

I can still see the Flames re-sign Rittich next season. But if his plays continue to be like tonight going forward. What can happen?
