Rittich has had some nice games. His game last night was the best of his career, IMO. But it was against the Rangers. And the Rangers are awful.
Rittich is 27. That's the age when lots of goalies figure it out. He's earned a shorter gap between starts, and a tougher quality of opposition. Ultimately, the ideal scenario is one where Rittich is able to establish himself as a top-15 starter, with the potential to do more.
The guy can play. He needs to do it consistently, and he's not going to get a better chance to show the world what he's got.
The defense is fine.

Rittich turned 26 in August.
