Uh, he has only had three games in a relief role.
One was the game against the Oilers where he and Hamonic had a chemistry mixup behind the net, which had to do with his being new to the team. We outscored the Oilers 4-1 with him on the ice and the only fault Rittich gets is for doing what any normal goalie would be doing which is not playing the puck with his dman skating towards him.
One was vs Tampa. He let in a bank goal from behind the net.
One was last night. He didn't allow any goals.
That is not anything resembling a sample size to say he has "generally struggled".
