Forced rest for Rittich.

Smith has had lots of time off as well so hopefully he's rested and comes out sharp. Or at least not looking like the Smith of 2018.

I think it's also a chance to see if Gillies can find his game and be an eventual backup (i.e. to Rittich next year) so I wouldn't be opposed to him getting a start at some point. But not against Boston -- I remember Leland Irving getting lit up in Boston in a 9-0 loss...
