Like these line up adjustments. I hope this game against Columbus is just a chance for Kyllington to get a view from up top and he gets back in in the next game. I have really liked his play outside of the game last night.
Also like to hear that Rittich is getting back in. I want both goalies going and this is the perfect way to show that these guys are going to share the net. Not just a win and you’re in.
I think that the flames play a more defensively-sound game in front of rittich for some reason. It might be a lack of faith in smith as players seem to forecheck more aggressively and lose position... leading to odd-man rushes and high-danger scoring chances on Smith. Almost like the players are nervous when the other team has the puck when smith is in net. But I also think that is going to get better as smith has started getting wins and is playing better.
