I'd bet that Smith starts against Arizona. It is his former team and that may be extra motivation for him to get things back on track in that game.
As others have said, you can't ride Rittich the rest of the way. He will need breaks here and there. Let's not go all Oil and overplay one goalie because the other one sucks. Let's work with Smith to get his game back and have a good combo again. Smith won't get his game back if he isn't tested in games.
