Will they keep rotating or will they play Rittich a bunch of games?

Rittich was a raw rookie last year and was incidentally his first year in Canada... not sure whether one can drawn such an emphatic conclusion that he's not a starter based on the sample from last year.
Rittich needs to start like five games in a row at this point to see if he can be solid over longer periods of play.
Smith needs to sit to figure things out; letting in a softie a game isn't going to rebuild his confidence either.
If Carey Price can sit for 5 games straight because he wasn't right, then Smith can too...
Peters has made some boneheaded decisions wrt to Smith and its really disappointing
